questions

[Darren Brook]

I am using Visual Studio.Net 2005. I am learning!!!

I have a couple of questions: -

- What version of the .Net Framework should I have installed? 2.0.what?

- What version of ASP.Net should be installed on my PC?

- I have seen that SP1 Beta for VS.Net 2005 is available - should I download
and install this beta version or wait for the release version?

- Are there any known side effects or problems in having the LINQ preview
installed that might affect a "normal" vs.net 2005 project? And the same
question if the LINQ preview is "uninstalled"?

Any help appreciated.

Many thanks
Darren

Hi Darren,

- What version of the .Net Framework should I have installed? 2.0.what?

Yes.

- What version of ASP.Net should be installed on my PC?

For the .Net Platform 2.0, ASP.Net 2.0

- I have seen that SP1 Beta for VS.Net 2005 is available - should I
download
and install this beta version or wait for the release version?

That is entirely your call. It *is* beta, but I've been using it without
issues. Still, when one installs beta software, one must assume the risk.

- Are there any known side effects or problems in having the LINQ preview
installed that might affect a "normal" vs.net 2005 project? And the same
question if the LINQ preview is "uninstalled"?

The same cautions apply as to using any pre-release software. You can find

I just flew in from Chicago with
a man with a wooden leg named Smith
who shot an elephant in my pajamas.
So I bit him.
