VS2005 uses the 2.0 Framework. So you cannot use VS2005 to create a 3.0 or 3.5 application. If you upgrade to VS2008 you will be able to use any version of the Framework you would like (2.0 or higher). What are you trying to create that requires the 3.0 or 3.5 Framework?

Nathan's right, you need to use Visual Studio 2008 to create projects that use the 3.0, or 3.5 Framework.

If you are developing a project that uses Framework 2.0, but your web server's 3.0, or 3.5 it should still run (because 3.0, and 3.5 are just extensions to 2.0).

Im not entirely sure about this,
But I went for a talk that was done by a group of programmers somewher in november december about workflow and WCF, and they had created a commercial application using VS 2005.

A site like this offers extensions to vs2005 for the .net 3.0 framework - this is a CTP one, but im sure microsoft would have made some adjustments to VS 2005 so that it can run along with the 3.0 engine
