    well with the latest servicepacks that MS made availlable past week they do

    after the first servicepack we installed the dataset designer was verry slow
    , but this is now solved

    only strange thingy we encounter is that we can`t set references to dll`s on
    shared drives if we do not refer to them with the full UNC path ( on XP we
    can just do a drive mapping )

    so the answer Is a definite YES

      Many thanks for the info.

      Are the service packs easy to find?

      Do I still require Framework 2, or would I need to move to 3?

      Cheers,
      Tull.

        ..NET 3.0 = .Net 2.0 + (WPF + WCF + WF)
        So it's just some stuff added on to .Net 2.0. If you want to install the
        3.0 extensions, post back and I'll give you the links.

          Well, I'm going to need them sooner or later!

          If you could that would be great.
          Thanks.

            Here you go. Instructions on installing the .Net 3.0 stuff on Vista or XP.
            This assumes you're running VS2005 SP-1.
            ------------------------------------------------------------

            Installing the Software Required to Work With WPF Applications

            To configure your computer so that you can work with WPF you should follow
            these steps:

            1. Windows Presentation Foundation requires Version 3.0 of the .NET
            Framework. While this automatically comes with Windows Vista, if you are
            using Windows XP you will have to download the installable from the
            Microsoft Website.

            http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

            Once this has been installed you should see an entry at
            C:\WINDOWS\Micr osoft.NET\Frame work which reads "v3.0".


            2. Download and install the Windows SDK. This is required in order to
            provide the help files for WPF. You should do this before installing the
            extensions to Visual Studio (Step 3 below) because the help files must be
            present on your computer in order for them to be linked to Visual Studio.
            Of course you will find it much more convenient for help to be available
            just by pressing F1 with a particular term highlighted rather than being
            forced to manually open the help file and to search for a particular term
            via the search box.

            The Windows SDK for can be downloaded from the following location.

            http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

            Even though this SDK is labeled "Windows SDK for Windows Vista", when you
            begin to install it, one of the screens indicates that it is also the
            correct version for Windows XP, provided that you already have Service Pack
            2 installed.

            3. Even if you are running Windows Vista you will need to install the
            Visual Studio 2005 Extensions for WCF and WPF.

            http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

            4. To verify that you have correctly followed these instructions, open
            Visual Studio and select Create a new Project. Look for an entry below the
            C# or VB node in the treeview of project types which reads "NET Framework
            3.0". When you select this entry you should see in the details pane to the
            right an entry under "Visual Studio installed templates" called Windows
            Application (WPF). Create a new application and select a term which is WPF
            related (eg. Application or Window). Press the F1 key and if the correct
            context sensitive help comes up, you can be confident that you have
            succeeded. Congratulations !

            --------------------------------------

            Here's the link to the Windows Workflow Foundation extensions for Visual
            Studio 2005 if you're interested in that as well.

            http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/t...displayLang=en


            Good luck,
            Robin S.
