can i use .net framework 3.5 with visual studio 2005?

I think vs 2005 uses .net 2.0...
I have the problem because as i am using vista operating system,
certain commands needs 3.5 version


Thank you all
 
Simple answer is No.

And like what "certain commands"? Maybe there is a workaround if you can
share some more details.

For example
serialport.readbyte
serialport.readchar
serialport.readexisting
etc.,
They are available in .net 2.0 also, but not in vista OS

Right you are.
system.windows.controls.spellcheck is not in .NET 2.0

Upgrade to VS2008. Or perhaps your requirements can be fulfilled using the
free VB Express 2008.

Can vs 2005 and vs 2008 run in parallel in the same system ??
 
IMO you don't even have to do that...

According tohttp://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.ports.serialport_me...
and the methods you talked about are available in  2.0 is installing .NET
2.0 should be enough.

For now my guess is that you try to run the code you created against .NET
2.0 on a Vista .NET 1.1 machine...

Ya, those are available in 2.0 itself but not on vista machine.
To have them run under vista we need to have .net 3.5. I have already
3.5 installed in my system
but they dont respond

I've had the same experience as FT Mike, and I now have boxes with VS 2005,
VS 2008 and VS 2010 B1 all coexisting peacefully. MS has done a good job
with this, so you can install VS 2008, convert a copy of your existing
project (I *always* do it with a copy first), then take advantage of new
stuff in .NET 3.5.
 
The serial port class is new in .NET 2.0 so this is the minimum needed.

.NET 3.5 is basically an *addition* to .NET 2.0 (the runtime itself is still
2.0) and doesn't change anything to this SerialPort class... (anyway when
you install .NET 3.5, .NET 2.0 is installed).

So now :
- try to create your application using .NET 2.0/VB 2005
- you should be able to run it under Vista with 3.5 installed (because this
is 2.0 plus additional stuff unrelated to the SerialPort class).

I did it in that way..It doesnt work..
The same code if I run in vs 2008 (.net 3.5) in vista it works...
