dotnetfx2
-
I downloaded and installed dotnetfx2 but none of the dll's are showing up in the references list (add references to a project) in the IDE. I have xp sp2 and visual studio 2003 Any suggestions?:confused: Steve S.

Install Visual Studio 2008 (possibly one of the free editions if your budget doesn't stretch to a fullblown version). The problem you've got is that you are trying to see .NET 2 from an application that only recognises .NET1.1. You need a minimum of VS2005 before you can see .NET2.
Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

Along with what Pete said; VS2003 is only meant to build against 1.0 and 1.1. Microsoft makes money by creating newer versions that have newer features that can't be run on older systems. You have to update to VS2005 at the minimum or just skip to VS2008. VS2005 only allows you to see the .NET 2.0 assemblies (partially because the functionality is kept from 1.0 and 1.1), but you cannot build applications to 1.0 or 1.1 framework. With the WinFX (now .NET 3.0) extensions you can build and see the .NET 3.0 framework. VS2008 is meant to work/build to either .NET 2.0 or .NET 3.0 or .NET 3.5 (you will see all of those assemblies). You can't see/build to 1.1 or 1.0 frameworks.
