?? Environment.Version Reports Wrong Value ??

[Tom Baxter]

Hello all,

I have .NET 3.5 installed and I'm running VS 2008. I have a C# project
that's configured to use .NET 3.5 (in the project properties the "Target
Framework" is 3.5).

The following line of code:
Console.WriteLine(".NET Version: {0}", Environment.Version);
prints: .NET Version: 2.0.50727.1433

Why does Environment.Version not indicate 3.5?

Thanks

Hello Tom,

the Environment.Version is correct, because it contains the version of the
CLR, which hasn't changed with .NET 3.5. .NET 3.5 just adds a bunch of new
assemblies.

Kind regards,
