The short answer is no. Code generated in VS 2005 is targeted for the .NET Framework 2.0, which VS 2003 can't work with. However, I think they are releasing some add-in that allows you to create .NET 1.1 code in VS 2005. And
at that time what it might be possible if you were to use that add-in to create 1.1 code. Also, there is no utility that I am aware of that will downgrade code generated in VS 2005 to be compatible in VS 2003.
Out of the box you can convert from vs2003 to vs2005, but not the other way. This is because the 2.0 framework has added new features that's not in the 1.1 framework.
However, there is a possebility to target the 1.1 framework from VS2005 when using MSBuild target files. I have not tried it myself, but
this blog post might get you going.

With ASP.NET projects you can use the migration wizard to migrate. But, in complex projects this might not be successful. The new compliation model for web projects in 2.0 is doing things differently than 1.1 and there are some things you should know about.
This link gives you a good start.
If you are going to migrate complex projects/applications I would recomend that you check out the new add-in called "web application projects". This brings back the familiar web projects model from VS2003 and makes
migrating simple.
