OK here the big problem... My organization is not yet ready to move to .NET
3.5 and even .NET 3.0 is still seen as something "not quite stable" (don't
ask me why).
For those reasons the project I am working on is still based on .NET 2.0
with Visual Studio 2005 so a migration to Visual Studio 2008 is very
unlikely in the near future so I am stuck with that.
So this is what I have:
Architect PC: Windows Vista Business (with .NET 2.0 & 3.0 & 3.5)
Developer PCs: Windows XP/Windows 2003 with .NET 2.0 & .NET 3.0)
IDE: Visual Studio 2005 Professional
I am asked to use WCF in the architecture but quite frankly WCF + VS.2005 +
..NET 2.0 seems to be like a nightmarish scenario. I have been browsing the
internet for a couple of hours trying to find not only the WCF but also the
VS.2005 WCF Project Template package without success!
I have the WCF installer but it complains that it needs some .NET 3.0
SDK/documentation but does not install it or suggest where to get it. Then
how good is the WCF in this setup if I can't find the VS.2005 project
templates for it. So far all the links I find are broken links and those in
the MSDN search take me to pages that do not solve the problem.
So, can anybody point me where I can find a STABLE WCF add-in project
template for Visual Studio 2005 Professional (SP1) ? Obviously this needs to
be reproduceable in some way because of the application deployment
requirements.
