Sometime ago I was playing around with dotnet 3.0 and was using VS 2005 with
Orcas. Now I want to write some 3.0 asp.net applications also usiung
SilverLight. I now see there is a vs 2008 beta download. Should I use that
or should I still use vs 2005 with the latest Orcas? BTW, what else do I
need?

Look in this thread for my post on 10/2 titled: "3.0 NET Framework" where I
ask what is needed to use the 3.0 stuff in VS 2005. I answered my own
question and provided a list of what is needed.

I see the list. That's a help (why can't MS make it simple)=?). I'm
beginning with a brand new Vista Image so I will install vs2005, sps (if
any) and the AJAX toolkit and then I should be able to go with your list.
Thanks

Hi Gary,

Just some additional comments about VS 2008 for your information:

VS 2008 is capable of developing .net applications targeting all the
following framework versions:

**.net 2.0
**.net 3.0
**.net 3.5

and the above project types are naturally supported in it. While for VS
2005, .NET 3.0 applicationis are supported through an additional extension.
Surely you can chooe either approach as you want. However, I do recommend
you start experiencing the VS 2008 earlier if you decide to move to it
after RTM(it will be at the end of this year) :)

Sincerely,

Steven Cheng

Hello GaryDean,

AFAIK the only official tool to work with Silverlight is the VS 2008

"VS2005 with the latest Orcas" doesn't make sense - Orcas is the
codename for VS2008. It's like saying "Windows XP with the latest
Vista".

some months ago we download "orcas" and installed it in vs2005. Now I think
you are saying we should download vs2008 and we will have everything we
need: Silverlight, AJAX toolkit, WMF ?? is that correct?

No, you didn't. You may have installed some extensions to VS2005, or
possibly a beta of Orcas, but you didn't install Orcas "in" VS2005.

Orcas *is* VS2008.

I believe that there will be extensions to VS2008 (=Orcas) for
Silverlight, but I don't *think* there's any support out of the box.
Not sure what you mean by WMF, but there's support for WCF, WPF and
Workflow Foundation out of the box with VS2008.
