I have Visual Studio 2005 with Framework 2.0 installed in my machine. Can I use Framework 3.0 or 3.5 with Vistual Studio 2005. Or do you think that I need to have Visual Studio 2008 to work with 3.0 and 3.5. And also is Framework 3.5 is out or is that still in its Beta version.
Thanks

Yes. A google search will lead you to the correct MS pages to download what you need.

Yes, has been for some time.

thanks for answering. i am scared upgrading from 2.0 or 3.5 in my existing vs 2005 as it may corrupt something. do you think this possibility. Why microsoft is releasing their framwork so often. It's getting very tough to catch up and live up the with one framwork atleast for a while.

3.0 and 3.5 live in addition to 2.0 so you can still use 2.0 if you like. In fact, VS2008 gives you the option of which of these frameworks you'd like to use on the New Project screen.

If you go for it you'll be able to play with LINQ, extension methods, WPF etc... That's why they added the new frameworks - new stuff/toys to play with Big Grin | :-D

It is possible but unlikely. That's what backups are for.

2005 to 2008 upgrade is a lot easier than 2003 to 2005 especially as VS2008 supports multi-targetting. That means that in VS2008 you can specify what version of the .NET Framework you want to use in your project.

Jeez, if you think that is bad you should have been around when MFC was at its height (late 90s). MS were releasing a new version of that every few months at one point.

.NET 3.0 and 3.5 are purely additive. In otherwords they don't make changes to bits released in previous versions. (Unlike 1.1 to 2.0)

That means that if you know .NET 2.0 then you are not required to learn anything new unless you want to.

Then concentrate on the areas you will find useful. I try and take a high level view of everything so I know what is out there. Then I drill down into what I need when I need it. I find that I can ramp up to a new part of the framework fairly quickly because I already know what it is for and what it does, I just need to learn the detail.

Screwdriver - open case - remove housing - Eyes

So the analogy is bust that case open to check the Serial number?

Checkedlistbox, different font (style) for each item?

Did you know the volume serial number changes every time you reformat the drive?

Hello, everyone.

A little help needed )
Is there any posibility to use different font style for different items in checkedlistbox?
For example, if I want to strike item if it's checked?
Can't find how to do that with standart checkedlistbox (

Thanks,

I think you'll need to handle the drawing yourself to do that.

You can get the same effect by using a ListView with the View set to List and CheckBoxes to true, then set the Font of any ListViewItems that you need to have different.

[edit] Just had a look, and the CheckedListBox doesn't support DrawItem so it's going to be a little more difficult if you don't want to use a ListView. You'd have to derive your own class from CheckedListBox and override OnDrawItem there.[/edit]
