Can I still target .NET Framework 1.1 in VisualStudio 2010? - visual-studio-2010

I am working with a project which uses .Net Frame V1.1 runs on VisualStudio 2003,
Now, I want to run my project in VisualStudio 2010?
Can I still target .NET Framework 1.1 in VisualStudio 2010?

Visual Studio 2010 only supports the 2.0, 3.0, 3.5, and 4.0 frameworks as targets. It does not support 1.1.
Is there any reason why you can't upgrade it to .NET 2.0. Did you know that .NET 1.1 is no longer officially supported on Server 2008 R2 and so I wouldn't expect it to be officially supported on any newer operating system.
I have read of some hacks to build .NET 1.1 projects for VS2005 and VS2008 - see below. Realize that if you set this up, then everyone else who works on the project will have to go through the same setup.

No, .NET Framework 1.1 is not supported by Visual Studio 2010.

How to add .NET Core to Visual Studio 2015 Pro

I want to install .NET Core in Visual Studio 2015 Pro, to implement Service worker for Linux.
When I go to official download page of microsoft, they are showing everything confusing, not sure what to download.
See below screeshot
Please suggest how to install .Net Core?
Microsoft only supports .NET Core development on Visual Studio 2015 up to .NET Core 1.1, meanwhile .NET Core Worker Service is introduced on .NET Core 3.0. Since the only currently supported .NET Core with Worker Service is .NET 3.1, you will need to use .NET Core 3.1, which are only supported by the latest VS 2019. So either ask your company if they can provide you with the license for VS 2019 Pro, get VS 2019 Community if you're eligible, or otherwise use VS Code.
How to add .NET Core to Visual Studio 2015 Pro
TL;DR: you can't.
.NETCore 3.0 (now end of life) and 3.1 are only supported in VS 2019.
.NET Core 2.2 (the only other supported version) is only supported in VS 2017 & 2019.

Can we develop .net framework 4.6.1 supporting office applications using Visual Studio 2013?

I have developed an outlook VSTO addin using VS 2008, supporting .net 3.5 . Now, I want to upgrade the .net framework version supported by my application to the latest .net 4.6.1 version. So, will I have to get Visual Studio 2015 for that, or any prior version will suffice?
you can target 4.6.1 .net framework with visual studio 2012 or later. You must install.NET Framework 4.6.1 Dev Pack.

Installed Net Framework 4.5. Can build/target Framework 4.0?

I have installed Visual Studio 2012 Express, and .NET Framework 4.5 got installed together.
Now from Visual Studio 2012, also if I target .NET 4.0 (Properties->Application->Target Framework), that doesn't seem to work. (The same happens from Visual Studio 2010, which by the way cannot target 4.5 at all!).
What I have noticed is that if I debug my project, and set a Watch on a SqlConnection variable, I see all the new 4.5 member properties (for example I see SqlConnection.ClientConnectionId property, introduced with .NET 4.5).
So, what is Visual Studio -> Properties -> Application -> Target Framework -> 4.0 supposed to do?
This 'strange' behaviour looks, in fact, perfectly normal when you realize that the installation of .NET Framework 4.5 is a replacement of .NET 4.0.
Look at Stack Overflow answer Can a build server with .NET 4.5 installed successfully deploy a project targeting 4.0 to a server with only .NET 4.0 installed?.

Using VS2005 assemblies in VS2010 projects

I have a number of assemblies which were built with VS2005 (.Net 2.0). I would like to reference them in a VS2010 project. Do they need to be rebuilt in VS2010 to execute in the .Net 4.0 framework or will they continue to execute in the .Net 2.0 Framework?
Your .NET 2.0 assemblies will continue to work fine when referenced from a .NET 4.0 project in Visual Studio 2010.
This assumes that you have both .NET 2.0 and .NET 4.0 frameworks installed on the machines where your application will run. (.NET 4.0 framework is brand new from the "ground up" whereas the like of .NET 3.0 and 3.5 were "additive").
By default, your pre-built assemblies will continue to reference the .NET 2.0 framework (i.e mscorlib.dll etc.) whilst your new Visual Studio 2010 will reference the .NET 4.0 framework versions. See the screen-grab from reflector below:
(VS2005Test is a class library built against .NET 2.0 in VS2005, and TestReferencingVS2005.exe is a console application built against .NET 4.0 in Visual Studio 2010)
Visual Studio 2010 also supports "multi-targeting" with projects at the source code level. This means that you can load the source for a project that was written in VS 2005 and targets the .NET 2.0 framework, and VS2010 will allow that project to continue to target the 2.0 framework. Of course, you can also upgrade it to use 4.0.
So, if you don't mind re-building, and it's not going to cause you problems, you can use Visual Studio 2010 have both your assemblies and final application all targeting .NET 2.0 or "upgrade" the assemblies to .NET 4.0 along with your application.

Visual Studio 2010 + .Net Framework 1.1 + Click Once Deployment

First of all, The Winform application is based on .Net Framework 1.1. I have 1.1 SDK installed but 1.1 is not listed in the Target Framework(VS 2010 Beta 2) so I cannot choose the same, the minimal available is 2.0. Am I supposed to install an add-on or something for building 1.1 apps in VS 2010 beta2. Further more, I am using a Clickonce deployment publish method. I am not sure if 1.1 supports ClickOnce deployment. Please advise on both these fronts. Thanks a Lot
.NET 1.x is not supported by VS2010 (or any future versions). You'll have to use VS2002 or VS2003 for that.
ClickOnce is only supported for .NET 2.0 or later.
.Net 1.1 isn't supported on VS 2010. I don't even thing it was supported on VS 2005 or 2008. I've always had a VS 2003 install in a VM for 1.1 maintenance stuff.
Here you can find a way to create your project in .net 1.1 with VS 2008. And I think this is last version of the VS you can use to create your projects in .net 1.1
If you have an application that uses e.g. an app pool using .Net 1.1, compiling for .Net 2.0 simply isn't an option.
You should just build your code with .NET 2.0, assuming there's some reason why you can't build it with .NET 3.5.
