Well, I've started studying C# on .NET 3.5. But now I'm work on .NET 4.0 and have a lot of difficult things. But I'll double my step to master it.

Keep going. Struggling to keep up with Mickeysoft and their random changes of direction is good practice and by the time you are tired of it you will be ready for some great projects.

I usually target 4.0, as it is now widely available enough that I don't have to worry about whether users have the correct version or not.
I did one recent project using some of the new Task features, which did require 4.5. However, given that, when I ran it on a machine that didn't have 4.5, it popped up a message with a direct link to download 4.5 from Microsoft, I see no reason not to just go with 4.5 for all new projects (unless Windows XP support is still needed - but I thankfully don't need to worry about that anymore!)

I use 4.0 when I want to do something with XNA.

Up until this last year all of my targets have been 2.0 or 3.5. Primarily for OS support and political reasons. All but 1 or 2 projects at my fulltime job and freelance work require XP support. I have 1 app that actually has to support Win2k. So 2.0 is only option.. Politics...
we constantly fight that balance of support vs convenience. Simply recompiling projects from 2.0/3.5 to 4.0 to stay relatively current may seem like a great idea for consistency and testing in department meetings.. But deploying out your app to 200+ customers and you find than all but a handful are XP users and either have to sit thru a Framework Install & Reboot or can't run your product at all because you changed frameworks can be inefficient and chaos.

Until windows XP goes away (may or may not be next year), use .NET 4.5 with care for desktop apps...

I don't think .NET 4.5 is supported on WinXP. See this[^] link.

Thanks for this info. I didn't know about this.

Yes, you're right. But You can install it on Windows XP.

Most of my projects target the framework 4.0. Only the latest one targets 4.5.

Well, could you teach me the difference between .Net 4.0 and .Net 4.5?
|
|
|
|
|
Some of my projects are in 4.0 and some of them are in 3.5 (as they are developed earlier and client don't want to upgrade ).
|
|
|
|

Just straight multiplatform C++, plus some Python, bash and Perl.
Unfortunately, it seems there is a Java component in the backlog. I guess I'll just hold my nose and code it as quickly as I can.

If I want to start with a new project what framework should I use?
|
|
|
|
|
Depends on your target customer setup. If no constraints: latest-is-greatest, right?

I recommend .NET 4 (or later) as that allows you to use ASP .NET MVC 4.

Adding the possibility of not targeting any .Net version is strange... isn't it?
Anyway... I would be targeting the one with "Bacon CListCtrls"!

Just guessing that the "not targetting" option gives non-NET developers a chance to vote anyway (and would provide an interesting comparision number).
The only instant messaging I do involves my middle finger.
English doesn't borrow from other languages.
English follows other languages down dark alleys, knocks them over and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.

I think most will not vote instead of seeing the details of the survey to vote as "not targeting".

Most of my software talks to hardware and doesn't really use .net framework. But when selecting a new project I will use the latest version installed. May be I should give a bit more thought about using the framework in the future.
Why is it when you are busy everyone whats it yesterday, But when your not no-one has any work for you?
