Upgrade from 2.0 to 3.0

[Alan T]

I have installed VS 2005.
Now would like to install .NET 3.0.
What files do I need?
I note some SDK, extensions or plugin files from MS site, not sure I need
all of them.

Well, you *could* take ages downloading a bunch of extensions - but
VS2008 is due out this month, and that has a better set of designers
built in. Personally, I'd wait and install VS2008.

We are using VS2005 and will stay with that for a while before mid-2008.
What files/SDK do I need to download to implement .NET 3.0 in VS2005?

I'd seriously try to bring that forward if you possibly can. The step
from 2005 to 2008 is much smaller than 2003 to 2005, and you can do it
piecemeal.

Well, which bits of .NET 3.0 are you going to use? Different bits use
different extensions.
