VS 11 supports .net 2.0 to 4.5 development so I do not that will be an issue. You should be able to install vs 11 side by side with vs 2005. I am not sure if vs 11 will upgrade the project file for vs 2005. I know it can open vs 2010 projects with out
conversion

Is it possible to upgrade Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition to Visual Studio 2011 ( the final version when it is released) ?

I would certainly believe so. If not, the most likely upgrade path would be 2005 > 2008 > 2011 if they don't support direct upgrade.
