AFAIK C# 3.0 is only available with .Net 3.5 (either the framework SDK or 
VS2008). 

You cannot use C#3.0 language features with VS2005

Thank you both!

So to recap:

.NET Framework 3.0 uses the same version of the C# language as .NET
Framework 2.0
Then .NET Framework 3.5 introduces C#3.0

VS 2005 is hard-wired to use the .NET Framework 2.0 compiler and
there's no switch to flip to use .NET 3.5 compiler.

However, I could install .NET Framework 3.5 SDK and, I guess, manually
compile?

I believe that's correct.  My recollection is that the last time I looked  
at this, the latest .NET SDK supported .NET 3.5 even under VS2005.  But  
you would not, of course, get any of the _language_ features, since those  
are supported by the compiler, not the run-time or framework.

Many of the new framework features are made more accessible by the 3.0  
version of C#, but you can still write the code explicitly to access those  
classes and their members.

Actually, I believe the compiler is part of the core framework install, 
not the SDK. And to clarify: the 3.5 here only refers to the compiler: 
code built with the new compiler will work fine on 2.0 machines, as long 
as the code doesn't *also* happen to use .NET 3.5 libraries.

Personally, I find it easier just to think of "the C# 3 compiler", 
rather than the fact that it happens to ship with .NET 3.5.

Correct: you cannot use C# 3 language features with VS2005 in any useful 
way.
