Use the Visual Studio Migration Wizard - comes up automatically if you open the old solution in VS2005. Then compile. You will get all the required information by the warnings etc. They contain also links to more specific information then.

Will there be any problem with datagrid and user controls.

Is there a way just to replace a datagrid with a gridview and give the same name and make it work.

The migration wizard will do a lot of stuff for you... You should definitively create a copy of your solution and just open it with VS2005 and see what is migrated automatically! It could be that the DataGrid is automatically migrated to the GridView!

Otherwise UserControls (own stuff) works just fine. It could be that a method is marked as obsolete in the .NET 2.0 framework, that wasn't in the .NET 1.1 framework. But then you get a compiler warning + a link that specifies how to migrate that part!

Migrating from .NET 1.1 to .NET 2.0 is very straight forward.
