May be not serious question/stupid question but I tried searching in internet for Visual Studio 2005 software (I mean free download :) ) but couldn't find a place where I can get it.

Do you guys know any site from where I can download the software. If yes, can you please share the link with me.

The older versions have not been released as freeware, so if you don't want to pay for a license, the Express edition is your only option. More importantly though, is why you feel like you need to use VS 2005 instead of a newer version like VS 2008? - Cody Gray

You can get all Microsoft Express tools from here

http://www.microsoft.com/express/Downloads/

2005 is no longer on the main page (if available at all), but seriously consider 2010 or 2008 editions.

if you're looking for Visual studio Web Developer Express 2005, as opposed to C#, Cnet's got it here:

Now only if they had an edition that works with Windows 7...
