Hi,
If you just want to learn C# web apps without complicated server setup, VS2005 has a built-in web server, you don't need IIS at all.
If you want to develop something more serious, or you want to be able to publish your work to a remote web server, you may want to read what I wrote earlier.
You can certainly use C# with IIS5, You can even use .NET 2.0 with IIS5, but note that IIS5 is what you get with Win2k; if you have XP you'll get IIS 5.1` and if you use Windows Server 2003 you'll get IIS6.
If you stick to UNIX/LINUX, everything "just works" and you don't need to worry about any of this, although Microsoft were ahead of the game a few years back with cross-platform HTTP publishing, but now they dropped it.

I understand you mean: ASP.NET Development Server. It works with C# but only locally, i.e. the server can not be accessed from a remote computer (at least I could not). On the other hand IIS 5.0 does not support C# (at least in my installation).
Suggestions?

Hi,
VS2005 has an option to be able to develop using the personal Cassini web server instead of IIS; this MAY be much better for the kind of thing you are doing - it runs perfectly with user rights and cuts out all the complications of IIS.
However, if you're writing serious C# web apps for small business, you'll need two computers; a client with Win2k/XP/Vista and a server running Win2003 or Longhorn. Put a hardware firewall between them to simulate the real world. NetBIOS/SMB is not the real world of the www because it doesn't work through firewalls and proxy servers.
If you're writing serious web apps for BIG business, you need UNIX/Linux and forget C# all together.
Microsoft's client/server communication (in the context of authoring websites and publishing web apps) is not as straightforward as it was with Windows 2000, because of all the confusion caused by SharePoint (doesn't work with VS2005), Frontpage Extensions (discontinued) and Office 2007 extensions (doesn't work at all in this context). If we're not careful they'll be sending us back to the stone age with FTP!

I have the Windows XP professional Upgrade version 2002 and it states, the version of windows is newer than the one you are trying to install. The details states that I can start a complete reinstall of xp but that I will lose all of my files and settings.
Is Microsoft nuts or what?
