I'm thinking of upgrading Visual Studio to 2005 and upgrading my hosting so I can start on .NET 2.0.

Has any one had any problems with 2005? Lots of my projects are in .NET 1.1 so what's it like to maintain these? Is it simple to keep them in 1.1 or it worth converting them to 2.0 when they need maintenance?

Depends on what you are doing...if its anything low level you will want to recompile and test before putting into production. Well...test everything first. I have had good luck. The paradigm has changed a little but MS was thinking and allowed for "backward style"...i.e. coding styles didn't really take advantage of a Master Page without a lot of work. You should have good luck...have found that the translation is much easier than migration to SQL 2005.
Good luck...
PS its worth it. faster, cleaner, and easier to maintain large scale sites.
