Tiborkiss,

At least every week is somebody asking your question in this newsgroup.

However where did you think the Net framework was for.
As well why it is standard showed in the standard Microsoft Update to update
that.

The Net framework is needed for a Net program in the same way as Windows is
needed for a Window program, Ms-Dos is needed for an MS-Dos program and
Linux is needed for a Linux program.

(The only difference is that the complete Net framework is completly free).

I hope this helps

Hi T,

You can develop non framework applications just fine with VS7.
C# and VB.Net and Managed C++.Net requires the client machine to have .Net  
installed, but you can also create Unmanaged C/C++ Win32/MFC programs that  
does not require .Net.  I'm not sure if you can program VB6 code in VS7 (I  
believe not).
