How to update .NET Development Environment to import a new namespa

Hello everybody,

In one of the replies on my previous question somebody said that I have to
update my .NET to import a new namespace. (Available from version 2.0). I
updated te version under "Help >> Check for Updates..."

After the update process I checked my version under " Help >> About MS
Development Environment". It said:
          Microsoft .NET Framework 1.0; version 1.0.3705.
          Microsoft Development Environment 2002; version 7.0.9955

But when I check my Control Panel >> Software I see this updates:
          Microsoft .NET Framework v1.0.3705
          Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 (+Language pack)
          Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 (+Language pack)

The previous problem isn't solved yet: I can't import System.IO.Ports
because the version of my .NET is not 2.0 or later, but I installed the
latest framework available. What did I do wrong, or which program/framework I
need to re-install or update.

Best regards,


RichART

RichART,

In order to use .Net 2.0 classes such as System.IO.Ports within the Visual
Studio development environment, you need Visual Studio 2005.

You could download and install VB2005 Express Edition for free, to get the
environment.
