Differences/changes between .NET 2.0 and 3.0I'll try this here. Has anyone been successful in finding a full list
of what's changed (apparently nothing) and what's new (apparently a lot) between .NET 2.0 and 3.0? I know some of the new stuff like WPF, etc., but need a list of all the differences if one exists. Thanks for any help. -glenn- WPF, WWF, and WCF, etc. are *additions* to the .Net *2.0* platform. They are
not .Net 3.0. -- Show quoteHTH, Kevin Spencer Microsoft MVP Ministry of Software Development http://unclechutney.blogspot.com I just flew in from Chicago with a man with a wooden leg named Smith who shot an elephant in my pajamas.

These libraries offer a new, albiet fancy, alternatives to: - WinSock (was Indigo, now WCF) - WinForms (was Avalon, now WPF) - Passport (was InfoCard, now Cardspace) - and hand-rolled workflow applications (was Hulkamania, now just WWF) In terms of additions to .Net itself (the CLR) there really isn't anything. In no way should this diminish the amazing things you can do with .Net 3.0. These new technologies are nothing short of amazing.

So if you have v2 and v3 installed at the same time, you have two iterations of basically the same set of 2.0 libraries, one in the v2 directory and one in the v3 directory in \windows\microsoft.net\framework.

What do u call "framework stuff" it is, as was mentioned before, in the \Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\ folder. There should be 2.0 and 3.0 folders JD> I take that back.

All old winsocks, winforms and other stuff are still exist, they only add new WinFX feaures without complete abolishing all old stuff CM> These libraries offer a new, albiet fancy, alternatives to: CM> - WinSock (was Indigo, now WCF) CM> - WinForms (was Avalon, now WPF) CM> - Passport (was InfoCard, now Cardspace) CM> - and hand-rolled workflow applications (was Hulkamania, now CM> just WWF) CM> In terms of additions to .Net itself (the CLR) there really isn't CM> anything. --- WBR, Michael Nemtsev :: blog: http://spaces.live.com/laflour "At times one remains faithful to a cause only because its opponents do not cease to be insipid."

But isn't that what most library updates are (including our own);
just additions to the prior version? You typically don't change apis of prior version that would break app compat - unless there is a really good reason. You build on it with new classes (i.e. datetime2, MyObject2, etc) -- Show quoteWilliam Stacey [C# MVP] "Laurent Bugnion" <galasoft***@bluewin.ch> wrote in message news:uqGY9m3AHHA.1780@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl... | Hi, | | GlennDoten wrote: | > OK, now I think I'm really confused.

This may be the first time I've seen a major> just additions to the prior version? version of a product (3.0 in this case) actually distribute the same installer kit from a previous version of the product (2.0 in this case). Normaly when you install 3.0 of something you get just that, not an earlier version of the product with some additional features added. See what I mean? I think this, um, creative packaging has caused a lot of confusion and will continue to do so. At least I know it has where I work. Think how odd it would have been if .NET 2.0 consisted of the same installer kit for .NET 1.0 plus some updates that are applied on top of ..NET 1.0. Wouldn't that strike you a odd? -glenn- I have found (and bookmarked a few links that should help clear all this up:
