Configure the. NET 3.0 development environment

Develop. Net 3.0 applicationsProgramTo configure the development environment. The configuration steps are as follows:

1. To develop. Net 3.0, first install. NET Framework 3.0.

Use windowsupdate to install the latest update before installation (Windows XP SP2 and Windows 2003 SP1 must be installed). download. net frameworkn3.0 (Windows 2003 and Windows XP); if you are a vista user, directly install it from "turn windows feature on or off" of Vista, vista does not support installation from this installation file.

With the above four steps, you can use vs2005 to develop applications based on. NET Framework 3.0. Open vs2005 and you will be able to see the. NET Framework 3.0 and workflow categories in the new project. You can start your. Net framework3.0 journey from here.

This is my first article on. NET 3.0. I will gradually share my experience in using. Net 3.0 with you.
