Versions - Explanation

[TheNugget2007]

Hi

I have to explain why we should have more than one version of the .Net
Framework installed onto our Computers.

From my understanding, certain applications will insist on certain
functions, can anybody add any ideas to this.

Regards

D

That reason sounds fine to me, especially if I care about an application
that needs on eof those functions.

I don't know how this flies at your company, but the number of .net versions
on most computers in our shop is almost always less than the number of JRE
versions.

What about VSTO applications, they always need to have a certain version
installed?

D,

It was intentioned to use one Net version by making it upwards compatible.

A very little bit went wrong between 1.1 and 2.0, where some slight methods
within those are not working completely the same.

That is why beside the latest it is clever to install the version 1.1 as
well.

2.0, 3.0 and 3.5 are working all upwards compatible.
(this is the same within 1.0 and 1.1)
