.NET Forum / .NET Framework / New Users / March 2008Upgrade from 2 to 3.5
I have installed VS 2005. Then I would like to upgrade to 3.5, here are what I downloaded: dotnetfx3.exe (50.3 MB) dotnetfx35.exe (197 MB) dotnetfx35setup.exe (2.73 MB) Are these what I needed? Hello Alan, To work with .NET 3.5 you need Visual Studio 2008. not the VS 2005 What u donwloaded is just .net redistributive framework to run applications, not to develop. You can download VS 2008 Express from MS site which is free --- WBR, Michael Nemtsev [.NET/C# MVP] :: blog: http://spaces.live.com/laflour "The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it" (c) Michelangelo AT> I have installed VS 2005.

AT> As Michael said, you'll need some version of VS 2008. SharpDevelop 3.0 also supports 3.5 http://community.sharpdevelop.net/forums/t/7381.aspx A breakdown of the files you listed: dotnetfx35 contains all files required to install .NET Framework 2.0, 2.0 SP1, 3.0, 3.0 SP1 and 3.5. dotnetfx35setup.exe installs the same versions, but checks what you already have installed and only downloads missing files. You don't need dotnetfx3 if you install 3.5. > Hello Alan, > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > AT> Are these what I needed? > AT> 3.5 is enough, as it will install all of the others. The problem, however, is as Michael states it. Without Visual Studio 2008, or another IDE, like SharpDevelop, you do not have the tools. You can, of course, write in notepad and command line compile, but I would not personally recommend, except as a learning exercise.  SignatureGregory A.
