Using 3.0 from VS2005

[Guest]

I've been using VS2005 with ELB 3.1 and .NET 2.0 (I haven't been using any of
the .NET 3.0-specific features of ELB 3.1). Now I'm ready to migrate to .NET
3.0...

After installing the 3.0 Framework, how can I really tell if it's available
from VS2005? I understand that 3.0 is actually "2+" and that its not a
complete replacement for the 2.0 CLR or framework.

However, I expected that I would be able to see at least SOME of the new 3.0
assemblies from the VS2005 Add Reference '.NET' tab. But all I can see are
the 2.0 assemblies.

So, I suppose I'm asking: how do I really know - from the point of view of
VS2005 - that 3.0 is installed and accessible?

Thanks,

DT

Hi David,

Redistributive just setup framework without any enhancement for VS.

Well, that would certainly explain why I'm not seeing any 3.0 stuff...!

Thanks,
