Why are you using VS2003?? It's pants compared to VS2005 and will soon
be two versions out of date as we move to VS2008. Why are you looking
at ASP.NET 1.1 too? It's really out of date now and 2.0 introduces
very key concepts such as generics (C# 2.0 basically) and a whole load
of new web controls (and even this has moved on to version 3.5 with
the presentation classes, etc). If you want it for your CV then .NET
1.1 won't get you very far and if you need it to edit a legacy site
then the conversion wizard in VS2005 does a pretty good job of
automagically updating your code.
