Shifting from .net 2.0 to .net 3.0

[free_soul424]

My development environment consists of .Net 2.0, SQL server 2005, visual studio 2005 and using windows XP. Now I want to switch to .net 3.0. Can u please answer me the following questions. 1. Can I have two different .Net frameworks at a same time? 2. Can I have two different visual studio versions on same system? 3. Do I need anything more (like windows service, OS) to shift in .net 3.0 Please guide me I will be thankful to u. Regards,

1. Yes. 2. If you mean VS 2005 and 2008, yes. 3. No.

Standards are great! Everybody should have one!

faheem424, VS 2008 allows you to choose the framework to use, either 2, 3 or 3.5 Regards, Gareth.

Is it a must thatg for using .net 3.0 we shld use MS VS 2008

[Gareth H]

thenewbee, No, you can use VS05 but like i said, if you're using different versions of the framework, its easiest to use VS08. Regards, Gareth.
