Trouble editing HTML Elements version 0.6

Hi
I just encountered something very weird. I opened an existing aspx fileto make some changes. When I click on an HTML element, such as a textbox, I get the open squares that say it is selected. The Propertieswindow opens up on the right but when I try to make any changes in thatwindow, the open squares become gray squares around the HTML element.Certain properties (e.g. Type) can be changed. Others such as ID cannot be changed. However I can go into the HTML code and make thechanges there. I am using version 0.6 of ASP.NET.
Any ideas on what happened? If it helps, I am working on the Guest Book example in Chapter 10 of Mike Pope's starter book.

version 0.6 of ASP.NET

As far as I know there has never been a ver. 0.6 of Asp.Net. You are either using ver. 1.0, 1.1 or 2.0. Are you perhaps talking about some kind of development tool here, like Visual Studio?

As far as I know there has never been a ver. 0.6 of Asp.Net.
When you ask for version number with Help->About the window thatpops up says version 0.6 build(812). This is what I downloaded from theasp.net download section.

What window is this? Asp.Net is part of the .NET Framework and does not come with an Interface. There are three versions of .NET; 1.0, 1.1 and 2.0. Is it Web Matrix your are referring to??
Yes, it is Web Matrix that I am referring to. All I did was save myaspx file at a convenient stop point and shut down my system for thenight. The next day when I resumed working on the sample program, I noticed the weird behavior of not being able to edit some propertiesof the page elements when in the Design mode. And it is not just theexisting elements but any new elements that I add to the page.

Trouble updating version to 1.1

Having trouble getting the my.net framework to version 1.1 I downloaded it, ran the setup.exe, and restarted. I open up my visual stud .net and it says 1.0. Please helpVS.NET 2002 will only work with 1.0 of the framework, and VS.NET 2003 will only work with the 1.1 framework. Does that give you an idea of whats wrong.
I thought you were able to update the framework. Anyway, I guess that would be the problem then. So, there is no way I can share projects that are created in vs.net 2003 using vs.net 2002. For instance, "arParams[0] = new SqlParameter("@.RegionId", ddlRegion.SelectedValue);" does not work in 2002, but does in 2003... .selectedValue is an issue.
You can install different frameworks, but VS.NET 2002 and VS.NET 2003 cannot switch between the different frameworks.

Your assumption is correct, there is no way of doing what you wish if you want to code against the 1.0 framework (using VS.NET 2002).
so i have to buy vs.net 2003 to view these projects?
Well, yes and no. To get the full IDE experience, I'd say yes. But, you can do command line compilations, if you wish.

If so make sure you go to C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322 in the cmd window and run aspnet_regiis.exe -i . That will install version 1.1.
