.NET Forum / Languages / C# / February 2008VS2005 and LINQ
Hello NG, Is it possible to use LINQ together with VS2005? If yes I assume I need some AddIns. Where can I find then? Thanks for hints and links.

Well, there's all the old betas and CTPs which worked on VS2005 - but they're all out of date. Basically you need VS2008.

The lack of anon-types would be irritating but not insurmountable. If you just mean LINQ-to-objects you might *just* be able to get it working with anon methods instead of using lambdas for the predicates/ selectors, but you'd need to use the long syntax to the extension methods *and* you'd need to write backwards: select(orderby(where(from))) [but much longer]. Basically, I wouldn't try it. I strongly suggest using 2008; the express edition may do most of what you want? Note that in either case you will want to reference the .NET 3.5 assemblies; you can't avoid this necessity. Marc Hello Marc, thanks for your information. Actually I am using VS2008, but I have a Classlibrary-Project in use, some one would like to add to his project too. Unfortunatelly he is still using VS2005 and his "Boss" is - momentarely - not willing to upgrade to VS2008 :-( Well I guess if he wants to make use of my library source code, he will have to extract the code needed and build a library for his own. Luckily he needs no modules, using LINQ.

In that case why can't he just reference your DLL?

Now you confused me, what about the original question regarding linq? Or why is linq mentioned at all ? Hello Ignacio, > Now you confused me, what about the original question regarding linq? > Or why is linq mentioned at all ? In parts of my classlibrary I make use of LINQ, but it is a part not needed by the "other one". So it would come in handy, if he could just build his own VS2005 class librayr by assimilating my code. But as it looks now, he must remove the parts of my code, which uses LINQ. Regards Rainer With Microsoft DreamSpark as a student VS2008 should be free. http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2008-02/20/content_7633285.htm Viepia >Hello Marc, > [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] >> >> Marc Hi, Make it simple, download VS2008 Express edition > Hello NG, > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Regards > Rainer Queck Hi once more, > Make it simple, download VS2008 Express edition Well, the one who wants to use my class library, would like to add it to his solution which is a "not that small" project under VS2005 pro AND because of his boss, he can't switch to VS2008.
