Is it possible to run VS2005 under .Net Framework 3.0

Is it possible to run VS2005 under .Net Framework 3.0? If yes how to assign
the .Net Fremowork 2 or 3 to the VS 2005.

Not sure what you meant. The 3.0 Framework is 2.0 unchanged plus brand new
stuff...

You have also new designers (some of which are technical previews) available
from http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/aa973758.aspx

I mean that by default VS2005 rund under .NET Framework 2.0.
Is it possible (if .Net Framework 3.0 installed on my machine) to have some
application running under .NF 2.0 and other under .NF 3.0.
Can I switch from one .NF to another whihin VS2005 IDE. Or anything else
must be done?

Thank you

The .Net Framework 3.0 = .Net Framework 2.0 + extensions for WCF/WPF/WF. So
running 3.0 is just running 2.0 with some extra stuff. No change needed to
the IDE or the code or anything.

The short answer is no.

Actually a 3.0 application is just a 2.0 application that uses those newly
provided assemblies none of which replacing existing 2.0 assemblies. So
running VS.NET under 3.0 has no real meaning.

Or else explain the problme you are trying to solve (to create a 3.0
application just create an application as usual and as a reference to one of
the specific new 3.0 assemblies).

nope; you cannot run VS 2005 on VIsta.
it doesn't work.

the ONE THING ms needed to include in Vista; they somehow didn't get
around to it.

NO. it doesn't

VB6 works on every operating system; the framework is not ANYWHERE

why in the hell would anyonwe with a brain use .NET for DOTANYTHING?

it's not even possible to determine which version of the framework is
on machine X.
