I want 2005 to use 2003's compiler. How can I make that happen?

so basically you want to compile to version 1.1 of the .net framework. right? if so, you're out of luck because that cannot be done:

you can install both 2003 and 2005 on the same machine.

what's the real issue here? as long as you get version 2.0 of the .net framework this won't be an issue...

well why else would you want to use 2003's compiler from 2005?

Im willing to bet hes compiling unmanaged C++ and just wants to use the new IDE

bingo

[Edited on November 5, 2005 at 2:16 PM. Reason : i already have both installed thx]

the .NET framework doesn't matter, I have 2 installed. I just need to compile it with 2003's compiler/libraries and don't want to switch back and forth. It's already a pain in the ass to switch the projects out for either one.

Google it. This has been covered 1938192075128957125 times on the internet with previous versions of the compiler, and I am sure that with 2005 this is the same.

Hint: Everything in devstudio boils down to command line executables, including the compiler.

Anyway why would you want to do this anyway? I am sure 2005 STL is more compliant and the C++ compiler is faster and generates faster code.

2005 might be faster and more compliant, but if we're linking and passing objects between something compiled with 2003 and 2005, shit might not be 100% aok

Yeah for X-10 this is a really bad idea

if its something else it shouldn't matter I guess
