c# upgrade woes

Hi

I have Visual Studio.net 3.0, and I guess C# 1.0, professional edition.

All I am trying to do is upgrade to C# 2.0. The version of .net I am using is just fine.

You'd think that would be a straightforward task.

I can't for the life of me find where I can purchase/upgrade C#.

Do I have to upgrade to some other version of VS.net to get c# 2.0? Can I just purchase, from somewhere, just C# 2.0 upgrade?

I have legacy software so I don't want anything to do with Vista, VS 3.0 beta, etc.

Any ideas?

thanks in advance

You already have C# (.NET, really) 2.0 as I'm sure you already have 3.0.

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework (or whatever your windir is). There you'll see all the versions you have.

I don't know if there are any "hacks" or ways to force a .NET 2.0 version for compilation in VS2k3 or prior; VS2k5 allows it -- sort of -- if you use MSBee or the likes. VS2k8 is supposed to, I think, launch with .NET 3.5, though I'm not sure if they finally added support for multiple versions of .NET compilations natively in the UI.

Thanks for the reply.

I gave the wrong information. I have Visual Studio.net Professional 2003. The .net framework is 1.1. C# is 1.0.

I want to get to C# 2.0.


thanks again

Three possible choices:

1) Use the command line tools that are part of the .NET 2.0 SDK
2) Use Visual Studio 2005 Express Edition (it is free)
3) Purchase Professional (or better) Visual Studio 2005

That is all.
