Alternatives to the programming test used for hiring
What’s with the Programming Test ?!
Perhaps a more revealing test would be to provide a problem with a
partially working/designed solution, asking the candidate to
complete/ehance/correct the solution.This approach may then give the candidate the ability and freedom
to be a little more creative than they might otherwise be, while also
allowing the employer to assess their skills across a range of areas,
ie design, coding style and general problem solving ability.

C# Express
C# Express only targets .NET 2.0. You can not use it to build applications that run against .NET 1.1. From the Microsoft support site:
13. Can I develop applications using the Visual Studio Express Editions to target the .NET Framework 1.1?
No, each release of Visual Studio is tied to a specific version of the .NET Framework. The Express Editions can only be used to create applications that run on the .NET Framework 2.0.
