Thanks for the url to MS Support which explained my error in thinking that just because of CLR hasn't changed since 2.0 it would make sense to use it instead of 3.5SP1 But i still would love to have a bit more insight what for Net is used in PR - and no i'm not a developer only an interested layman... btw. automatic MS Update out today for FF issue: How to remove the .NET Framework Assistant for Firefox |

Also it provides one set of code routines that will work cross platform on any MS OS with .NET installed. Otherwise you have to write different code for different targets. A basic tenet of object oriented programming is you do not reinvent the wheel. If someone has created a library that does the job you want ... use it. If its not quite right ... inherit from it and adapt it. If its totally wrong, find another. If you cant ... then finally ... write your own. | |

Re: Why .Net 3.5?
As long as no functionality is used thats only available in .NET 3.5 it will run on .NET 2.0 also, since .NET 2.0 is fully integrated in .NET 3.5

Re: Why .Net 3.5?
Correct, there is no 3.5 methods used in it. The reason for installing 3.5 is that there is a SP to 2.0 that Vista doesn't implement ... it only implements it retrospectively in the 3.5 Sp1 update ... you cant actually download it for Vista separately anywhere. So rather than confuse the issue by having a whole bunch of things that people with different OSes have to do, it was simpler just to get folks to install 3.5 sp1.
Besides , there is nothing wrong with being bang up to date. I mean if a game requires you to install the latest DirectX version you think nothing of it ? You think nothing of getting the latest drivers for your video or sound card ? You let your OS update itself as patches come out ? .NET is no different. I must say I find it very hard to understand the technofear that seems to revolve around .NET. I suppose its because the advantages of it are more apparent to the developer than they are to the end user. |

Re: Why .Net 3.5?
^ I image it is the same thing. End users don't interact with the .NET Framework. Some of the fear comes from the massive FUD campaign against it.

Re: Why .Net 3.5?
Thank you for the in dept Twisted Helix, i have all Net Version installed and i'm regurlarly updating them and DX. And i know for sure that MS is much more aware of security and flaws than years ago. Just read an article about Net4.0 Beta Framework - sounds interesting, keyword: dynamic Oh man i'm just too old and lazy to learn
