What is the most commonly used version of vs studio: 2002, 2005 or 2008? Is
IIS 6 not compatible with asp.net 2.0? Do I need to run some patch or
library to solve the problem? Or can I use IIS 7? Do I download it from
Microsoft website? I understand that for client/server program I need to
install .net framework program, right? How about the web application? Please
help me to understand. Many thanks.
 
Hey, Obama...
Stick with the presidency :)

You have way to many beginners questions...

1. IIS is part of Windows. You can not choose which version to run. Version
of Windows defines version of IIS you will be running. Window 2000 has IIS
5.0, Win XP, 2003 have IIS 6. Vista - IIS 7
2. IIS6 and IIS 7 support al versions of .NET (1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 3.0, 3.5) IIS
5 not sure but I recall does not run .NET 2.00 and above
3. If it's a web application .NET framework needs to be installed on a
server (which runs IIS). Client only needs a browser.
4. My guess most commonly used is VS Studio 2005.

George.

Tough to say but 2008 is really 2005 with some new key feaures available.
Is IIS 6 not compatible with asp.net 2.0?

No. Who said that? IIS 6.0 is fully compatible with all .NET versions.
Do I need to run some patch or library to solve the problem?
Click to expand...

There is no problem that needs solving.
Or can I use IIS 7? Do I download it from Microsoft website?
Click to expand...

Sure, but it is only available on Vista or Windows Server 2008.
I understand that for client/server program I need to install .net
framework program, right? How about the web application?
Click to expand...

The web server will need .NET Framework installed.
 
Thanks for all help. How easy it is to upgrade vs studio 2002 to 2005?

In addition, just want to confirm, the .net framework is only required at
client workstation when they want to use the client/server application using
vs studio, right? Many thanks.
 
Few more questions:

1. Do I just download the dotnetfx.exe and install at the IIS
webserver and develop some aspx and dll at the web server, then I can just
use IE or other web browser to access the aspx in client PC?
2. For regular application (non-web) like VB6, do I use the same
procedure as web application, but this time I put the dll and exe at the
client PC and install dotnetfx.exe at client PC and it should work? Or I
should stick with VB6 and forget about the VB. NET. Please help. Thanks.
