Visual Studio 2005
The hosting process is a feature in Visual Studio 2005 that improves debugging performance, enables partial trust debugging, and enabled design time expression evalution. The hosting process files contain vshost.exe file and is placed in the output folder of the project.
Improved Performance
Running a managed application requires the creation of an AppDomain and associating the debugger with the application. Performing these task can introduce a delay between the time debugging is started and the time the application begins running. The hosting process helps increase performance by creating the application domain and associating the debugger in the background, and saving the application domain and debugger state between runs of the application.
Partial-Trust Debugging and Click-Once Security
With the Visual Studio 2003, it is not possible to test and debug an application which do not require full trust. Visual Studio 2005 introduces the ability to debug applications in partial trust. An application can be specified as a partial trust application in the security page of the Project Designer. Debugging a partial trust application requires special initialization of the application domain. This initialization is handled by the hosting process.
Design-Time Expression Evaluation
Another new feature in Visual Studio 2005 is the abiltiy to test code from the Immediate Window, without actually running the application. You can use the Visual Studio Immediate window to execute a function or subrountine while your application is not running. If the function or subrountine contains a breakpoint, Visual Studion will break execution at the appropriate point and you can examine your program state.
Disabling the hosting process.
To disable the hosting process clear the Enable the Visual Studio hosting process checkbox in the project properties window. Disabling the hosting process disables the partial-trust debugging, Design-time expression evalution and also increases the time needed to begin debugging .net applications.
Note : Hosting process files (.vshost.exe) are for use by Visual Studio 2005 and should not be run directly or deployed with an application.

Visual Studio features a new code editor that includes full XML 1.0 syntax
checking, support for DTD's, and full XSD IntelliSense and validation while you
type. The XML Editor includes the following features:
Editing XML : The XML Editor checks XML 1.0 syntax,
including DTD syntax, and reports errors with red squiggles in the file as well
as lists the errors in the new Error List
window.
Validation : The XML Editor performs
DTD, XSD, or XDR validation while you type. Blue squiggles are used to show any
validation errors. Each error has an associated entry in the error list. You can
easily find the XSD schema to use for validation. The schema can be in your
schema cache directory, in the solution, in the editor window, referenced via
schemaLocation attributes, or inline inside your XML
document.
Auto-completion : Auto-completion of
end tags takes place when you type “>” at the end of a start tag. The editor
also automatically inserts namespace declarations for new namespaces introduced
by IntelliSense editing.
IntelliSense : Provides
help in completing XML elements and attributes based on schemas or DTD's
associated with that document. Supports the full set of IntelliSense commands
including Show Member List, Display Quick Info, and Word
Complete.
Reformat : Automatically reformats the
entire XML document or only what is selected based on optional settings for the
XML Editor.Includes an XML formatter that preserves attribute formatting. New
formatting options are available from Formatting, XML, Text Editor, Options
dialog box.
Smart Indenting : Used to adjust for
the right indentation for the next XML element when you press
ENTER.
Syntax Coloring : XML syntax is colorized
for various elements and attributes in the document. You can change the default
colors using Fonts and Colors, Environment, Options Dialog
Box.
Tool Tips : When the mouse hovers over an
XML element or attribute, a tool tip window appears over the element providing
information from the XSD schema if one is specified.
Document Outlining : Each XML element that
contains child markup content, or multiple lines of text, can be expanded or
collapsed using plus [+] and minus [-] signs.
Create
Schema : This command allows the creation of an XSD schema from an
XML, XDR, or DTD document.
Editing XSL : When
editing XSL, the XML Editor supports all the features available for XML files
but also includes additional features and color-coding for XSL keywords. In
addition, a two pass validation algorithm is applied to ensure better XSD
validation with the XSLT spreadsheet.
View XSL :
This command performs an XSL transformation and opens the output in a separate
document window.
Debug XSL : Allows debugging of
XSL document when editing an XSL style sheet using an associated input document.
The debugger provides a full expression evaluator so you can evaluate XPath
expressions while debugging.
Now I can do powerfull and dynamic Web Developement Quicker and easier than ever before.

A contextual keyword is used to provide a specific meaning in the code, but it is not a reserved word in C#. CSharp 2.0 has following contextual keywords
partial - Defines partial classes, structs, and interfaces throughout the same compilation unit.
where Adds constraints to a generic declaration.
yield Used in an iterator block to return a value to the enumerator object or to signal the end of iteration.
value Used to set accessors and to add or remove event handlers.

I am installing on Virtual PC. I had C# Express Edition Beta 1, which I uninstalled because of this problem but still no luck.
Visual Studio 2005 has the ability to customize many of the context menus that you see in the product. Here's how:
- Go To Tools.Customize.
- On the Toolbars Tab, check "Shortcut Menus". You will notice that several new items on the main toolbar with the title shortcut menus.
- Switch to the Commands Tab and drag the command you want added onto the appropriate menu. There are default groupings for Solution Explorer, Class View and Debugging context menus. Other Shortcut Menus contains the remaining list of uncategorized context menus.
- Click Close
If you want to add items to the editor context menu, you can add them to the Code Window group under Other Shortcut Menus.
To restore the VS 2005 IDE to its default settings open the Windows menu and click
