.net 1.1 and SQL Server 2005

Hi,

I run .net 1.1, VS2003 with SQL Server Enterprise Manager v 8.0 on my home XP Pro machine.

I have recently purchased some hosting with SQL Server 2005 capabilities. I was in a real rush but I should have checked I suppose.

I would love to be able to use my Enterprise Manager but obviously that wont work as it isnt compatible with 2005. It would be preferable not to have to use the web based admin and I have been told I have to install Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express, which requires .net 2.0 to be installed. It seems a bit of a mess really.

Can anyone enlighten me as to what options I have?

Thanks,

Pete

You're already looking at the best option, but incorrectly assuming it's a mess. It isn't. The two framework versions are independent and play fine together, and just doing the default installs should give you wahat you need in not much more time than it takes to download the files.

Can anyone tell me why 2003 isn't compatible with 2005?

Not a gripe, just curious...

2003 what and 2005 what?

Oops,

Well, the whole .net 2 / SQL Server 2005 thing.

Why cant I log in to 2005 server using my Enterprise manager 8.0 ... :)
