How to upgrade from .NET 1.1 to .NET 2.0

[Vernware]

Hi all: I am currently developing projects using (let me see if I can get this right) .NET Framework 1.1 which has C#, VB and ASP. I would like to upgrade to .NET Framework 2.0. My questions are: Where can I go on the internet to do this? I have spent hours cursing the internet and am completely confused. Will the .NET Framework 2.0 provide me with the tools I listed above (C#, VB and ASP). I really need these tools. Thanks in advance for help on this subject. And shame on Microsoft for making this simple upgrade process so complex. Vern

Me too. I often curse the internet.:laugh: ASP.NET, VB.NET and C# are available in .NET2 for free.

the last thing I want to see is some pasty-faced geek with skin so pale that it's almost translucent trying to bump parts with a partner - John Simmons / outlaw programmer

The Framework can be found @ http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/netframework/aa731542.aspx This will include command line compilers, the free Visual Studio Express editions can be found here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/ That should get you the tools

Thanks for the info. I went to these web sites and was able to get the tools I need. This was a great help. Thanks again. Vern

Similar question: I've already downloaded and installed the .NET Framework 2.0. Now how do I import the controls to my VS.NET toolbox?

what controls are you trying to import?

Preferably all of them, but at the very least I'm trying to get FolderBrowserDialog (I think that's the name). On a side note, I wonder why the SDK installation doesn't detect VS.NET and do this automatically? I guess only Microsoft knows.

By the way I'm upgrading from 1.0 not 1.1. Or else I'd already have that component, yeah.

What are you using for a programming enviroment, You need to use Visual Studio 2005 or the express edition to see the new controls. The 2.0 framework is not usable in Visual Studio 2003 or earlier

I guess that's my problem, then; I'm using the Student Edition (I believe) of VS.NET 2002. Thanks for your help anyway, I'll just make do with the CLI compilers for now.
