FP5: Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 support has been deprecated

Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 support has been deprecated and might be removed in a future release.

Details

Support for Visual Studio 2005 has been deprecated because most of the editions of Visual Studio 2005 have reached their end of support dates.

Visual Studio 2005 was first released in October 2005 and was later upgraded to support NET Framework 2.0. Support for .NET Framework 3.0 is offered via Windows Visual Studio 2005 extensions for .NET Framework 3.0.

To have access to support of .NET Framework 3.0 or later, you should use Visual Studio 2008 or later.

Resolution

Start using Visual Studio 2008 or Visual Studio 2010 before support for Visual Studio 2005 is discontinued. You can convert existing projects in Visual Studio 2005 to Visual Studio 2008 or Visual Studio 2010.
