| See this link for a little information on when Microsoft will be releasing 3.5 with a go-live license: http://weblogs.asp.net/fmarguerie/archive/2007/07/
12/visual-studio-2008-and-dotnet-3-5-still-planned
-for-end-of-year.aspx I haven't yet seen anything to say whether they actually hit their expected date for the go-live license or not, but assuming they have it means you're able to use it in production.
however, you'll probably have to uninstall it before you install the release version, and I always assume classes are subject to change before the final release, so you may find breaking changes later on.
Also I'm not sure of the terms of the go-live license, but there would be limited support from Microsoft at best if you hit any 'gotchas'
I suspect.
You can definitely use .Net 3.0, which is mainly 2.0 with workflow, communication foundation, cardspace and presentation foundation, that's all released currently. I'd say if you need any of the functionality in 3.5, or if you can make good use of any of it, your site isn't absolutely mission-critical and you're prepared for some extra work when it is finally released then go for it.
If you say no to any of that, then give it a miss for the moment.

Hi,
Thanks for the comment. I have a dedicated server so I am ok with having to re-install the full release when it comes.
I made a mistake when I decided to go with 1.1 instead of 2.0 back in 2005. At the time the .net 2.0 just came out and since I was very comfortable with the 1.1 framework, I didn’t bother to set up the development environment for 2.0. I then realize the issue with the 3rd party component and missing the feature of AJAX stuff.
That’s why I am going with the 3.5 instead of missing out something or needed to do another heavy porting in the future.
Thanks,

Is anyone aware that any shared hosting vendors have 3.5 available? I thought that I heard that the basics of 3.5 were pretty solid (whatever happened to between 2.0 and 3.5? was there a 3.0?), so perhaps I've just dreamt that I saw some shared hosting that had it. Also (pardon the fog here) does running VWD 2088 EE 3.5 really include AJAX without extra steps and installs? I've had a bugger of a time proving that AJAX will work in *ANY* shared hosting environment and have yet to find a "cookbook"
on how to get the SIMPLEST of AJAX demonstration pages to work in anything but dedicated full-on hosting. Hints, suggestions most welcomed, please!

Not sure about shared hosting with .net 3.5, I used hostmysite.com for my shared hosting before and they are pretty good at installing custom component for me. Yes you don't have to install additional ajax extension. There are lots of resource you can find online, here are some links

By the way you can download VS2008 now for free and play around since vs2005 and 2008 can co-exist in your machine.
