I am using Visual Studio.Net 2005. I am learning!!!

I have a couple of questions: -

- What version of the .Net Framework should I have installed? 2.0.what?

- What version of ASP.Net should be installed on my PC?

- I have seen that SP1 Beta for VS.Net 2005 is available - should I download
and install this beta version or wait for the release version?

- Are there any known side effects or problems in having the LINQ preview
installed that might affect a "normal" vs.net 2005 project? And the same
question if the LINQ preview is "uninstalled"?

Any help appreciated.

Many thanks
Darren

Visual Studio 2005 comes, and works with .NET Framework v2.0.
You should also have ASP.NET 2.0.
If you don't have any issues *right now* using VS 2005, I'd suggest waiting
for the release version of SP2.
Somebody else may have insights on LINQ preview.

You mean SP1, right? If there is ever an SP2 for VS2005 it won't be for
years...

I didn't have any problems having the LINQ preview installed except for the
annoying pop-up message everytime I started VS telling me that it was an
unsupported version of C#.

Right after I posted the previous reply, I saw this:

It appears that .NET Framework v3.0 (with Vista support) has been released
for use with VS 2005.

My version of .net is 2.0.50272

Is this the correct version?

Should I use .Net 3.0 on my PC yet?

Thanks
Darren

Hi Darren,

.Net 3.0 == .Net 2.0 + four additional libraries. If you install .Net 3.0
without having .Net 2.0 installed you will discover that
%windir%\Microsoft.net\Framework will have two new folders including
v2.0.50272.

Unless you have need for the libraries in .Net 3.0 you don't need it.

My mistake - my version is 2.0.50727

Is this correct for .Net 2.0 and ASP.Net 2.0?
