No, but I recommend you to do that so you will not stuck in the past of the technology.

More controls, easier to create applications, new language features like generics etc.
You can read about VS 2005 on this site:http://msdn.microsoft.com/vs2005.

You can read about ASP.Net 2.0 at those sites:

Microsoft are doing there best to make it 100% backward compatible. So you can run your .Net 1.x application under .Net 2.0.
Thanks Fredrik N, that help me much..
