Yes, you too can write all your web parts in VS 2005 and host them on your existing Sharepoint 2003 install. Its kind of tricky thou so I'll try and explain the steps.
1. Download and install "Son of SmartPart" from here
2. Follow the installation Guide included in the ZIP file you just downloaded.
3. **IMPORTANT** You MUST change the root web site to run as ASP.Net 2.0xx. If you do not do this your site will not function properly.
3a. Also, you need to make the Web.Config changes found here or your hosed. Dont run the stsadm command like the article, it won't work (or it didn't for me anyway). Just make the changes that it says the command will make.
4. Remember to add your user control to the UserControls folder and the assembly for it to the BIN folder.
5. Done! Thats it, you can now run a User Control developed in .Net 2.0 Framework on your Sharepoint 2003 portal.
Enjoy!
