Beware that this version of .net is no longer supported by Microsoft. Upgrade to 4.5.2 if you want te be protected by security patches.

Who are these dinos, targeting .NET before 4.0?!!!!

|

The ones writing or maintaining software for corporates that refuse to upgrade until absolutely necessary (and even then will probably use VMs to keep their out-of-date software running rather then rewrite)

Don't feel like you open a big secret!  "Necessary" is not only "what MS can offer to enjoy me?", but also support from a whole industry. Who will write WinXP driver for new printer? Who will remember all tricks to setup/administer XP properly? Fix security holes?
Me myself sat at WinXP as long as I could. But hell, already YEARS I work in Win7 x64 and it's wonderful! (and don't ask too much in h/w terms - ALMOST same as XP) I don't say people MUST drop their dusty boxes and put new OS, but it looks ridiculous to stay on XP just because "it works". H/w become old, capacitors explode, you don't have even PCI-E - who will like to work with that sh!t?! Greedy moron in CEO thinks he SAVES MONEY, keeping these archaic PCs, but actually he just delays THE MOMENT when important things just die in 1 microsecond and he looses much more. Nobody ever won driving firewood car instead of petrol, esp. in IT.

It would be nice if we as developers could make those decisions (it's logical to us), but unfortunately it doesn't work that way on a corporate level. I've worked in banks which runs huge systems. The argument is not just that "it works", but also the fact that those systems have gone through the months (if not years) of testing, auditing, fixing and maintenance. Even though you think the code might run the same on both versions of the OS it is not guaranteed to do so.
My plan is to live forever ... so far so good

I agree on 99% that "years of testing" worth something. BUT... it's not a guarantee that system is bug-free! (see last scandal with SWIFT) Moreover - every version of .NET adds new features as well as fixes issues. In this light I prefer to be "on the edge", using .NET version which at least 1/2 year in production.
Every .NET version follows with list of "breaking changes", so if you kick developers to check 'em, you'll easy find that most of 'em even don't touch you! Why not to upgrade?

.Net 3.5 may be useful as it is the version compulsory for the SMO ( SQL Server Management Objects ) namespaces. It seems that for SQL Server 2016 RC2 , SMO is using .Net 4.6.1. ...
Don't forget that a connection to a SQL Server instance thru the Server/ServerConnection classes is relying on the SqlConnection class. Maybe , there is a way but I have nt found it ( at least an easy/quick one ).

Are you developing for a company or are you only a hobby programmer?
If the first was your answer you wouldn't have come to such a strange question... 
You seriously don't know that there are customers in the world who are not able/allowed to upgrade
their environments for whatever reasons and so they have no chance to use the latest .Net frameworks?
And if they payed a support contract you have to supply them over years and this means you have no other
possibility than still using old frameworks to do customized development for them!

Ah, that "bloody enterprise"! My sorry for your life, dude. Fortunately my company has no poor clients to support .NET 2.0 - now we work on 4.5 and able to work with latest VS. To people who cannot have Win7 we recommend to use gray-beard Delphi programmers.

Thanks for your reply.
No worry, my life isn't as poor as you think! 
Me and my colleagues are as well developing with the latest releases.
But your answer is showing me, that you didn't understand what I was talking about.
Sorry for that!
Have a nice evening.

Do you really want to bring it in that direction?
Are you serious? How old are you???
It's time to go to bed for you, kid! 
I don't continue with this bare nonsense.
Have a good life, dude!

Yeah that sounds like .NET to me!

Unlikely that it was forgotten, more likely that whoever suggested this survey was unaware of that particular CF-only version.

C / C++ run faster leaner and meaner than a scalded cat. I'll stick with that.

Yeah but I bet I can turn out an LOB WPF application in C# faster than the equivalent c++ and it will have a wider support community so for LOB work c++ would not be an optimum choice.

Assembly or pure machine code would be *even leaner* !

What C++ based web dev framework would you use if you needed to deploy a dynamic web site? How about ORM tools, Azure service deployments, etc. ?

Good people of CP, we don't all code within the same area of computing. Where I prefer to code is where c / c++ shines.
K?
Y'all do what ya do now.

It's important to use the right tool for the right job. That's also why thousands of developers use C# and .NET and not C/C++ or Assembler or SNOBOL.
