So - I upgraded to VS2003 and recompiled the printwatchserver.net component no problem.

Now anybody opening the component from VS.Net 2002 gets a stupid "The implementation has changed" error and if they try to open the source code they get "This code was created with a newer version of Visual Studio" so - in order to run my code they will have to upgrade as well????

Note that the code hasn't actually changed - I just opened it up in VS.Nret 2003 and recompiled it! Any ideas on how I can make a component that is compatible with both versions?

It isn't the code that has changed but the solution and project files and according to Microsoft is a one way conversion. Which they have told you directly after you opened a 2002 solution in 2003 (see the attached picture).

I know that there are already some tools that can undo the conversion, but i don't remember where I saw them.
