Now I'm working on VS.NET 2008(professional edition), but for some reason, i need to use VS.NET 2005. So, i'm going to install VS 2005. I need to know whether it can cause any serious problem by having vs2005 and vs2008 on the same machine? thank ^^

Hi, I use VS 2003, 2005 and 2008 on the same machine and I have never encountered any issues with it. You may have VS 2005 and 2008 on the same machine, provided the machine is hardware compatible for the use. Hope this helps.

I have both the versions on my machine. But just to let you know that in Visual Studio 2008, you can set the target framework to .Net 2.0 which is same as Visual Studio 2005 framework.
