(Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 – Beta 1) to (Visual Studio Code Name "Orcas" Beta 1)

Hi,

What is the relationship between "Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 –
Beta 1" and "Visual Studio Code Name "Orcas" Beta 1"? Should I
install 1 first than the other, or just 1? I need to start a C# LINQ
project for my job.

Thanks,
Mark

Looking around on the internet it looks like 'Visual Studio Code Name
"Orcas" Beta 1' encapsulates and installs "Microsoft .NET Framework
3.5 – Beta 1" during installation, so I should just install 'Visual
Studio Code Name "Orcas" Beta 1' and not download or install
"Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 – Beta 1".

Mark,

Orcas Beta 1 is the development environment for .NET 3.5. Of course,
when you install Orcas, you are going to install the beta of .NET 3.5 as
well, so you don't need to do separate installs.

Hi Mark,

As for the Visual Studio Oracs IDE, when you install it, it will first
install .net framework 3.5 (also require the previous .net framework 2.0
and 3.0).

After you have installed the Visual Studio Orace, you can develop all of
the following applications:

** .NET framework 2.0 based applications

** .NET 3.0 applications(WPF, WCF ....)

** .NET 3.5 based applicaitons(such as LINQ, ....)

There is a versio switcher in the IDE when you creating a new project.

Sincerely,

Steven Cheng

True, just a small warning though, installing Orcas (V3.5 of the
Framework)installs SP1 (currently a beta version) for the V2 of the
framework, that means that your V2 Framework has an updated version of the
CLR and compilers and some tools (JIT, GC etc..). Uninstalling Orcas does
not remove this SP1, you have to uninstall V2 of Framework and reinstall the
RTM version of V2 to get rid of this SP, no big deal on anything but Vista,
where it's impossible to uninstall V2 of .NET.....
