You're probably SOL. Every link I found is broken.
I don't think Microsoft typically offers free trials of obsolete products.
After all, the object of a free trial is to entice you to purchase.
You can still download it if you have an MSDN subscription, but I doubt
you'd be asking here if you had one.

Out of curiosity, what is you need VS 2005 for that VS 2008 cannot do?

try to google on Express Edition... Those are free (limited) edtions
for Visual Studio.Net 2005/2008 package.

But this packs are more than enough to start and program a .Net
application....

so google on " Visual Studio.NET Express Edtion"

Download VS2008, it can open VS 2005 solutions and projects with no
breaking changes, and you can select the target framework so no code
upgrade is necessary. There is really no interest using VS 2005.

Hi When I New a web site, the default coding model is code-separation. I can uncheck the "place code in separate file" checkbox when I add a new WebForm, and VS2005 will remember this setting. I'm wondering where does VS2005 store the settings for "place code in separate file"?

Hello, I see and read that VS2005 Web apps no longer creates a csproj file. While it says that some of that info is now stored in the web.config, much of it is not. For example, what physical file stores the property settings, references to other assemblies, or default aspx page? I've tried to find such a file but can't. I even set the default page to something obscure and searched the directory to see if that would find the file. ...

I have a MSDN subscription and I'm downloading the first CD of VS2005 now. But I'm not sure I'm doing it right. I put a blank CD in the CD drive and told it to write it to D: (the cd drive).

I then went back to MSDN site and now it's downloading to the CD. But, I've now been told this probably will...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
