3.0 is 2.0 unchanged + new features so if you don't explicitely use those
new features, it won't change anything.
Just reference those assemblies.
You may want to install updated designers depending on what you are doing.
Not sure if the doc is updated (don't remember as I tend to use the online
doc).

IMO the first step would be first to make sure you actually need something
from 3.0. If not you can easily wait for Orcas to be out...

your VS 2005 installation so that you can more easily create

I looked but I'm still a little confused.
I assume VS2005 already has designers (for the Designer?)
Can you tell me about one of them to get me oriented as to what they are?
Thanks a lot

Yes it already have designers such as the winforms designer is what you are
using to create a form in "design mode" but putting controls in place
directly. But as 3.0 adds NEW things, there are new designers for 3.0 as
well.

IMO the very first step is first to look what is in 3.0. I'm not sure you
really need something from this. See :
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms687307.aspx
to see what is in 3.0....

Thanks for your concern.

I tried to see what was new in menus and was taken to a page to down load an
..xps file which I did.

Then I couldn't open it for lack of an app that new how.

Checking the internet I found that IE6 should know how so I tried it and was
told I needed 3.0 to read it.

I made have made a mistake some place but this is how I remember what
happened.

So I downloaded 3.0 and was able to read the file and found out (as you been
suggesting) that the changes are for apps that run under Vista which I don't
have.

Anyway, I now have 3.0 installed. Is there a down side?

Can I get rid of the older versions?

Thanks for all the help
