I've been building a site under VS 2005/.NET 2.0. I'm running on an
XP Pro machine with IIS 5.1 on the local machine. I just moved it all
to a new laptop, also running XP Pro, and started IIS before loading
VS. But I'm upgrading to VS 2008, which loads .NET 3.5, and, I
thought, should have configure IIS to work with it. However, when I
try to configure my site under IIS, the ASP.NET version drop down
lists only 2.0 as my only choice. How come, and what can I do to get
3.5 listed there?

Thanks.
 
..NET 3.0 and .NET 3.5 do not change the CLR major or minor versions. They
only introduce service packs. 3.0 and 3.5 use .NET 2.0 SP1; 3.5 SP1 uses
..NET 2.0 SP2.

So when the "ASP.NET Version" box says "2.0.50727", It's still okay to
3.5 controls in my site code?

!> Yes, that's right.

With the caveat that the 3.5 .Net framework assemblies/exes/compilers must also be installed, of course.

After installation, they reside in :
windowsdrive:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5
