Sure, you're missing Visual Studio. :-)
If money is a problem, download Visual Web Developer Express 2005.
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/express/aa700797.aspx
It may not read VS 2005's solution files...but it will read/compile everything else.
If it doesn't VS 2005's solution files, you can fix that problem very easily.
When VWD attempts to open the solution you might get a message saying something like :
"...this is a solution file, but it was created using a newer version of Visual Studio."
VWD parses the first line of the solution file to determine its version.
By editing the file in Notepad, you can get it to work in VWD.
If the file has "Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 10.00" in its first line,
change it to "Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 9.00".
Making sure the solution file's version is 9.0 will allow you to open a VS 2005 solution file in VWD.

My project file is all held on a computer that doesn't have visual
studio. I'm not even sure how the application runs or anything since I
wasn't the one who originally wrote it. If I try to open the solution
file it just pops up "open with..." I have to edit the files with
notepad. But, again, i'm new to all this stuff, so maybe theres
something I'm missing. I'm familiar with VB.NET in vs2005.
thanks for the help
