REALLY dumb question

oldschool visual studio 6 developer, WAY out of the loop... what exactly is
the difference between .NET and 2005? im developing something in C# and all
examples and tutorials i see explain that you have to do things a little
differently depending on whether youre using visual c# .net or visual c#

Hello S,

Each .NET FW version is bind to the new VS vesion, so just .NET means that
"use any version of .NET (suppose to be the latest)"
if it's noted VS 2005 it means that u need to use .NET 2.0

Difference between .NET 1.1 (VS 2003) .NET 2.0 (VS 2005) and .NET 3.5 (VS
Orcas) is in the number of supported features

Hi,

VS .NET is for .NET Framework 1.x (C#1.0 ...)
VS 2005 is for .NET 2.x (C# 2.0...) and much more.

E.g. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...y0(VS.80).aspx

Kind Regards, Alex Meleta

In the evolution of Visual Studio naming conventions, we got Visual Studio
..NET (AKA Visual Studio .NET 2002), which was replaced by Visual Studio .NET
2003. When Visual Studio 2005 came out, the .NET was dropped from the name
only. Visual Studio 2005 is just as much tied to the .NET Framework
(v2.0/3.0) as were 2002(v1.0) and 2003(v1.1). Each version of Visual Studio
includes a different version of C#, but there is no C#.NET vs. C# 2005. C#
is a .NET programming language, period.
You do things differently in VS 2005 to take advantage of new features in
the IDE, the language (C#) and in v2.0 of the Framework.

It's like coming from VB 3.0, 4.0. 5.0 to 6.0 in VS 6.0. They all do the
same thing with each version having new features.

It's the same thing with VS.NET, VS NET 2003 and .NET 2005, each working
with a different version of the .NET Framework or an update to an existing
..Net Framework, like VS.NET works with framework 1.0 while VS 2003 works
with framework 1.1 now VS 2005 works with framework 2.0.

That is a bit oversimplified.

The difference between 1.0, 1.1 and 2.0 is the main library used, as each
iteration "replaced" the other. Beyond that, ie 3.0 and 3.5, the extras are
added on top.

a dumb question i had on my mind: Say you have a dynamically created web page . Isn't it more secure to write it in php since a visitor will not be able to tell it is dynamically created? But if you write it in perl, you have to put it in your cgi-bin which automatically means it's a dynamically generated page? security by obscurity . Is this true or hardly means anything? thx!

Is it me or has anyone noticed that F1 is really dumb in VS2005. Since VB3 I have been able to click F1 on an ambiguous method in code and the IDE automatically determines the type based on the code itself and shows the right help topic. This even worked more or less in VS2003. But in VS2005, if I highlight the "Host" method below and hit F1 I get a help topic on the "UriBuilder.Host" property. Huh????? That's dumb. Dim o as New...
