Framework Questions

[jay]

I am confused; what is the current production release of the .NET
Framework, 3.0, 3.5? How do I change the Project->References in my
converted VS2005 Project->VS2008 Project to use the latest framework :
system is currently 2.0.0.0
system.data is currently 2.0.0.0
system.design is currently 2.0.0.0
system.drawing is currently 2.0.0.0
system.windows.forms is currently 2.0.0.0
Are there any issues with using different versions of the framework?
If I installed VS2008 and converted my app, why isn't it using the
latest Framework? I believe Framework 3.5 was installed when I
upgraded to VS2008.

Thanks for your insight

..NET 3.5 - which is part of VS.NET 2008.

How do I change the Project->References in my

converted VS2005 Project->VS2008 Project to use the latest framework :
system is currently 2.0.0.0
system.data is currently 2.0.0.0
system.design is currently 2.0.0.0
system.drawing is currently 2.0.0.0
system.windows.forms is currently 2.0.0.0

..NET 3.0 / 3.5 is a misnomer... .NET 3.0/3.5 is really .NET 2.0 with
additional enhancements. In fact, I don't think the core assemblies have
changed versions! So System's latest version is 2.0.0.0 and same with
data, design, etc.

..NET 3.0 provided features such as WPF, WCF, WWF, WCS, etc.

..NET 3.5 provided LINQ and other data enhancements.

It's been debated a couple times here whether MS should have even given
..NET 3.0/3.5 a new verison number (bad idea if you ask me).

Are there any issues with using different versions of the framework?

The machine running the app will obviously require the latest framework.
I also believe someone said if you deploy a plain .NET 2.0 application,
the machine will need .NET 2.0 SP1.

I think .NET 3.0 should be 2.1 and 3.5 should be 2.2!
And the SP1 for 2.0 should not be neccessary, it should be interated
in 2.2.

Does the Setup automaticly know and say to the User which Download is
neccessary?
Even if it needs only SP1 or it needs .NET 3.5?
(I'm afraid, that my Setups not automaticly download and install .NET
3.5 on the target Machine; i develop Shareware)
