install of C# 2005 express

[Jeff]

Is it possible to install C# 2005 express on a computer that have VS 2003
installed??

I want to be able to use both version of VS, evaluating VS 2005 and
programming in VS 2003!

Is this possible??

Hi Jeff !

You might use MS Virtual PC from MSDN if you got a subscription. Then you can "run" as many pc's you
like. Works great for testing.

Note - after you've installed a new OS and configured it like you want, make a copy of the HD Image
file that Virtual PC makes. That way, you can just put back the copy and then you're back where you
where. Really nice.

I got a virtual Win98, Win2000 and WinXp pc's for testing. You can even share folders with your host
pc. The folder will then appear as a station (Harddrive) on the guest pc.

I have done this with no problem: both systems are independent and work
fine.

Actually, I have a question as to how to make the Direct X SDX documentation
available to Express C#. When I installed the SDX the help documentation
was automatically integrated with VS 2003. I installed Express C# later and
it is unaware of that help documentation (although I have no problem
creating references in a C# project to the Microsoft.DirectX namespace).
