Can we install .netFramework and develop c# application
using windows 98? I yes then how?
Can we install .Net command prompt in windows 98?
 
One simple answer NO, Windows 98 is not a development platform for .NET.

Willy.
 
In addition to Willy's comments.

I have heard that people have had success with Sharp Develop on Windows 98.

Which means you can do it, however as Willy stated, its not really
recommended!

Also you will not be able to develop Web applications locally...

Hope this helps

That's a simple answer, but not an accurate one. You *can* install the
framework on Windows 98, and you *can* develop applications under it. I
used to do that (for simple test cases) when I only had a 98 box at
home and my laptop was broken. You can't install the SDK, and
presumably you can't install VS.NET, but there are other alternatives.
 
Jon,

I supossed OP was refering to installing the SDK or VS.NET, but if he's
asking about alternatives, you are right my answer was not that accurate.
But alternatives are officially not supported, I (as an MVP) would never
suggest non supported alternatives that probably aren't worth the trouble
and may possibly result in a lot of problems and frustrations.

csc itself is supported though - there's nothing wrong with using a
decent text editor and csc to develop simple .NET applications.

I would also (as an MVP) have no problem suggesting that people use
NAnt and even SharpDevelop - I'm pretty sure it's obvious that those
tools themselves aren't supported by MS.

are you implying that MVP's need to push microsoft products? i'm not
entirely clear on this. would you mind clearing it up?

No, I'm not implying anything, and I wasn't pushing MS products either.

Jon,
Again I was referring to the SDK and VS.NET.
I also have no problems to mention alternatives, but I would'n suggest
anything as long as I don't know the users expectations.
Another important point is that as long as you can't install the SDK, you
won't have access to the Framework SDK documentation (note that both NAnt
and SharpDevelop expect you to install the SDK for this), which can be
pretty annoying, especially for inexperienced users.

Willy.
