[RESOLVED] [2005] Framework 3.0

[Atheist]

Hey guys.
I'd like to play around a bit with the speech recognition stuff in VB .Net but MSDN keeps refering to the System.Speech namespace to get hold of all the good stuff. I plain just dont have that namespace anywhere.

It says its part of the .Net framework 3.0, I have been in the "Add/Remove Windows Feature" and checked all of the framework 3.0 checkboxes..so it should be installed, shouldnt it? Still, it shows me that Im running 2.0 when I check the "About.." window in Visual Basic 2005 Express.

Simply, how do I get the ******* thing(.Net 3.0) into my machine?

Running on Windows Vista.

have you tried adding a reference to the system.speech dll?

Where might I find this dll?

I haven't really dug into .NET 3.0 too much yet, but I think you need to install extensions into Visual Studio to allow it to work with the framework 3.0

here is the download link (it says it will work with Express Editions), and it also seems to be an early release...

Aah Microsoft Speech Object Library..is that it?

Ive added a reference to this dll, I can access the SpeechLib namespace (and its not "inside" the System namespace)...why was MSDN nagging about a namespace called Speech that was "inside" the System namespace (System.Speech)?

that sounds like a COM library....

sounds good. Let me know how you make out with the speech stuff. I had messed around with the COM speech SDK back in VB6 so I would be interested to see how its improved in terms of accuracy and easy of programming now.
