Re: VS2005 and .Net Framework 3.0

I just find it hilarious

that Vista supports Vb6
but it doesn't support VB 2002, 2003 _OR_ 2005

I mean seriously here kids; why is MS driven by incompetents?

BECAUSE THEY ARE TOO BUSY LEARNING ENGLISH!

How can I make VS2005 to work with .Net Framework 3.0. What settings
should I change?

You need to load a .NET 3.0 Extensions for VS.NET 2005:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=F54F5537-CC86-
4BF5-AE44-F5A1E805680D&displaylang=en

They're currently in CTP (beta).

Here some specific instructions; the order of installation matters. This
assumes you are running Windows XP SP-1 or Vista, and you have installed
SP-1 for Visual Studio 2005.
---------------------------------------------------
Installing the Software Required to Work With WPF Applications

To configure your computer so that you can work with WPF you should follow
these steps:

1. Windows Presentation Foundation requires Version 3.0 of the .NET
Framework. While this automatically comes with Windows Vista, if you are
using Windows XP you will have to download the installable from the
Microsoft Website.

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=10CC340B-F85...

Once this has been installed you should see an entry at
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework which reads "v3.0".

2. Download and install the Windows SDK. This is required in order to
provide the help files for WPF. You should do this before installing the
extensions to Visual Studio (Step 3 below) because the help files must be
present on your computer in order for them to be linked to Visual Studio.
Of course you will find it much more convenient for help to be available
just by pressing F1 with a particular term highlighted rather than being
forced to manually open the help file and to search for a particular term
via the search box.

The Windows SDK for can be downloaded from the following location.

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=C2B1E300-F35...

Even though this SDK is labeled "Windows SDK for Windows Vista", when you
begin to install it, one of the screens indicates that it is also the
correct version for Windows XP, provided that you already have Service
Pack 2 installed.

3. Even if you are running Windows Vista you will need to install the
Visual Studio 2005 Extensions for WCF and WPF.

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=F54F5537-CC8...

4. To verify that you have correctly followed these instructions, open
Visual Studio and select Create a new Project. Look for an entry below the
C# or VB node in the treeview of project types which reads "NET Framework
3.0". When you select this entry you should see in the details pane to the
right an entry under "Visual Studio installed templates" called Windows
Application (WPF). Create a new application and select a term which is WPF
related (eg. Application or Window). Press the F1 key and if the correct
context sensitive help comes up, you can be confident that you have
succeeded. Congratulations!

--------------------------------------

And here are the Windows Workflow Foundation extensions for Visual Studio
2005 if you want those, too.
