Summary Developing on.NET Framework 2.0 with Visual Studio 2005 has numerous TCO advantages ASP.NET 2.0 has much more “plumbing” out-of-the- box. This saves a lot of time, as you need to write only your business logic. Desktops apps have superior functionality. ClickOnce technology in Windows Forms 2.0 makes them cost effective to deploy and manage. Visual Studio Team System makes team development more effective, predictable and cheaper.
