.NET 3.0 Framework and VS.NET 2003

[amparikh]

I have VS.NET 2003 IDE and compiler. Are there any knwon issues
using .NET 3.0 SDK with VS.NET 2003 ?
or just including the right header files and libraries within the SDK
should do it ?

Thanks

The biggest known issue is you cannot use .NET3.0 (or any version of .NET
rather than 1.1) with VS2003. You need VS2005 with necessary patch, or
better yet, wait to next release of VS.

You can't use .Net 3.0 with VS.Net 2003; it only works with .Net 1.1.

If you want to try out the new features in .Net 3.0, either purchase Visual
Studio 2005, or download VS2005 Express (free) from Microsoft.

======================================

Here are the instructions for installing .Net 3.0. Before doing this, you
need to be running Visual Studio 2005 with SP-1, and Windows XP with SP-1
or Windows Vista. If you are running Vista, you also need the Vista patch
for Visual Studio. Post back if you can't find it. It's different from the
SP-1 patch to Visual Studio.

You need to install this stuff *in* *this* *order*, or your help files
won't work.

------------------------------------

Installing the Software Required to Work With WPF and WCF Applications

To configure your computer so that you can work with WPF and WCF, you
should follow these steps:

1. Windows Presentation Foundation requires Version 3.0 of the .NET
Framework. While this automatically comes with Windows Vista, if you are
using Windows XP you will have to download the installable from the
Microsoft Website.

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...0B-F857-4A14-83F5-25634C3BF043&displaylang=en

Once this has been installed you should see an entry at
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework which reads "v3.0".


2. Download and install the Windows SDK. This is required in order to
provide the help files for WPF. You should do this before installing the
extensions to Visual Studio (Step 3 below) because the help files must be
present on your computer in order for them to be linked to Visual Studio.
Of course you will find it much more convenient for help to be available
just by pressing F1 with a particular term highlighted rather than being
forced to manually open the help file and to search for a particular term
via the search box.

The Windows SDK for can be downloaded from the following location.

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...00-F358-4523-B479-F53D234CDCCF&displaylang=en

Even though this SDK is labeled "Windows SDK for Windows Vista", when you
begin to install it, one of the screens indicates that it is also the
correct version for Windows XP, provided that you already have Service Pack
2 installed.

3. Even if you are running Windows Vista you will need to install the
Visual Studio 2005 Extensions for WCF and WPF.

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...37-CC86-4BF5-AE44-F5A1E805680D&displaylang=en

4. To verify that you have correctly followed these instructions, open
Visual Studio and select Create a new Project. Look for an entry below the
C# or VB node in the treeview of project types which reads "NET Framework
3.0". When you select this entry you should see in the details pane to the
right an entry under "Visual Studio installed templates" called Windows
Application (WPF). Create a new application and select a term which is WPF
related (eg. Application or Window). Press the F1 key and if the correct
context sensitive help comes up, you can be confident that you have
succeeded. Congratulations!

--------------------------------------

And here's the Windows Workflow Foundation extensions for Visual Studio
2005 that are also a part of .Net 3.0.

Good luck.

Thanks for taking the effort to point out the detailed instructions.

Actually my question was for VC Express C# ot VC Express C++ 2005.
Can I make Windows 3.0 SDK( or .NET 3.0 sdk) work with either of
them ?

Thanks

Yes. The instructions should work for Visual C# Express 2005. I don't think
it works with C++.
