I've been using VS2003 for a while now, but I would also like to install VS2005 on the same machine so that I can use the Framework 2.0 features. Is there any problem or issue arise? Anyone has try it?
This is a very frequently asked question in this forum. Yes indeed, you can install VS2005 on the same machine with no ill effects. The VS2003 sites can use ASP.NET 1.1 and the VS2005 sites can use 2.0.
The next question that you may have is can I run both ASP.NET 1.1 and ASP.NET 2.0 on the same server? To answer this question look for posts on Application Pools.

I've been running both versions of Visual Studio on my Development box and all is working well. You do need to pay attention to which version of the framework you desire you application to use though. For example I like specifically configuring my application's
virtual directory to use the version of the framework it was built for and not leave it to chance. ASP.NET 2.0 adds a new Tab that allows you to change the version of the framework a web app uses at the website or virtual directory level.
