Where is the .net 3.5 SDK?

Question

Can anyone please provide a link to download the .net 3.5 SDK? I checked the MS site and google but cannot find a download link for this.

Thanks...

Answer 1

here is it. Just the .NET 3.5 sdk, nothing else:

Answer 2

The link above is good, here is a link that contains links to every Microsoft based SDK. It is kept fairly up to date.

Edit If you are cutting edge. Meaning wanting to start programming for features in Win 7, server 2008 r2. this would be a link with the latest and greatest. at RC level. (although Win 7 is released with .net 3.5 sp1)

In addition this link is also nice.

http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/WindowsAPICodePack

Contains .net wrappers to most of the new features in win 7.

Update 2020: I can confirm that this option is still valid in VS 2019 (Enterprise and Professional at least)

In VS2017 Tools Menu >> Get Tools and Features...

Then in the VS Installer window select the "Individual Components" tab and make sure you have ".NET Framework 3.5 development tools" checked and installed

Answer 4

Nowadays everything is downloaded from: https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/ Scroll down to build tools for visual studio, download the installer, select individual components and select what versions of dotnet you want to install. When done look for the "Development Command Prompt for VS", run and be happy.
