HI,
Features of ASP.Net 2.0 are

• Master pages.
  
• Profiles.
  
• gridview control

And Features of ASP.net 3.5 are

• listview conrtrol.
  
• datapager control
  
• netsted master pages

asp 2.0 does not support ajax,silver light, but asp.net 3.5 support the it.

Visual Studio 2008 is multi-targeted, meaning that you choose from a drop-down list whether to have Visual Studio 2008 build applications against the ASP.NET 2.0, 3.0, or 3.5 frameworks. Visual Studio 2008 also includes an improved Designer experience, JavaScript debugging and some more features, and the ability to view and even step into the core .NET Framework code during debugging.

Hi,
Would like to add more to the above given points.

• ASP.NET AJAX was used as an extension in ASP.NET 2.0. You had to download the extensions and install it. But in ASP.NET 3.5, ASP.NET AJAX is integrated into the .NET Framework, thereby making the process of building intuitive cool user interfaces easier.
  
• Also the integration between webparts and the update panel is much easier as compared to ASP.NET 2.0.
  
• The ListView and DataPager are new controls added along with a new datasource control called the LinqDataSource. The ASP.NET LinqDataSource control allows you to filter, order and group data before binding to the List controls.
  
• It includes some new assemblies such as System.Core.dll, System.Data.Linq.dll, System.Xml.Linq.dll, System.Data.DataSetExtensions.dll.
