Work with Visual Studio 2005, Build for .NET 1.1

Via Larkware: Microsoft has released MSBee Beta 1.

MSBee means MSBuild Everett Environment. Everett beeing the codename for .NET 1.1, MSBee is an extension for MSBuild that allows developers to build managed applications in Visual Studio 2005 that target .NET 1.1.
A small limitation to know though: "At this time, we are not planning to add IDE support. Since MSBee will be a shared source release, the potential is there for the community to provide this support.".

Update: Bruno Baia made the test, and yes, you can compile directly from VS 2005 if you add the following line after the existing import tag in a project file:
<Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\MSBee\MSBuildExtras.FX1_1.CSharp.targets" />
IntelliSense and help still present .NET 2.0 information, but this is not a big deal. I think the above statement about the missing IDE support is not clear at all.

  • What do they mean by that? No IDE Support? You mean MSBee only works for MSBUILD command line builds?



    That's not a &quot;small limitation&quot; .. that's down right stupid.

  • &gt; &quot;You mean MSBee only works for MSBUILD command line builds?&quot;



    I installed MSBee and added this line after the existing import tag into a project file and now VS2005 compiles against .NET 1.1 binaries :



    &lt;Import Project=&quot;$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\MSBee\MSBuildExtras.FX1_1.CSharp.targets&quot; /&gt;



    But intelliSense, help, etc... still .NET 2.0

  • Excellent, Bruno!

    I was almost sure it worked this way. I think that the statement about the missing IDE support is not clear at all. I understand what it means, but I never expected Intellisense or help to present .NET 1.1 information anyway.

  • Hello Bruno,
    I modified the project file, but now i can't compile, it seems to me that the line I add is for csharp. My project uses vb , what can I do?

    Hello.

    I am with the same answer of Emanuele.

    Anyone knows how can I compile C++ or Visual Basic applications?

  • What about web applications ? Class libraries and console applications works fine , but web application does not work. Has anyone solve yet this issue ?

  • Add this line in the project file for visual basic:
