HI,

Does HDF5 version 1.8.5 is supported in VS 2005. The documentation says that "We no longer support building HDF5 using Microsoft Visual
      Studio .NET 2003 or 2005."
Can you please confirm?

The 1.8.4-patch1 release was the last to use VS2005.
The 1.8.5 and upcoming 1.8.6 releases are based on VS2008.

That is the the project files are based on those versions of Visual Studio.
The 1.8.5 release was the first to support CMake, with improvements to the CMake files in 1.8.6.
Using CMake, you can generate project files for VS2005. Following is the list of generators supported by CMake 2.8.2 and above:
            * Borland Makefiles
            * MSYS Makefiles
            * MinGW Makefiles
            * NMake Makefiles
            * Unix Makefiles
            * Visual Studio 10
            * Visual Studio 10 Win64
            * Visual Studio 6
            * Visual Studio 7
            * Visual Studio 7 .NET 2003
            * Visual Studio 8 2005
            * Visual Studio 8 2005 Win64
            * Visual Studio 9 2008
            * Visual Studio 9 2008 Win64

CMake can be downloaded at the KitWare site,
