What's version of C# ships with Visual Studio 2005?

[polaris431]

I can't seem to find the version of C# that ships with Visual Studio
2005 on Microsoft's web site. What I do find is a document called " C#
Language Specification 2.0, March 2005 Draft". But this is a draft.
Does Specification 2.0 ship with VS 2005?

One other question, is there somewhere where I can simply see what
additions / changes were made to C# between Visual Studio 2003 and
2005? I already know C# that ships with VS 2003 and don't want to waste
time weeding through documentation just to find out what is new or has
been changed.

Thanks
Polaris

VS 2005 ships with C# 2.0, but I don't know whether the spec has been
"released" anywhere yet. The ECMA equivalent (ECMA-334, 4th edition)
looks like it's out now:

'CSharp 2.0 Specification.doc' only contains the language changes.
It's a delta.

AFAIK, 3rd ed covered C# 2.0. The 4th is for changes due to ISO
ratification - I'm not sure what they were.

Yes, I'd thought that 3rd covered C# 2.0 too. Ah well - might as well
use the most recent version

(I haven't checked yet to see whether some corrections I suggested have
gone in
