I've been using VB6 for several years now, and I'm thinking it's time to use a newer language. When .NET first came out, I didn't like the look of it, mostly because it was different, and not having that much programming experience at the time was quite happy to stick with what I knew! However, looking at it now I'd quite like to try Visual Studio 2008. However, I'm concerned that applications made in Visual Studio 2008 won't be able to run on other computers, as .NET 3.5 hasn't been introduced to Windows Update yet so there won't be many computers with it on. Do all application made in Visual Studio 2008 require .NET 3.5, or does it depend on what features you use?
Answer:
One new feature that was introduced is the ability for VS2008 to be targeted for backward comp to 2.0. You no longer need 3.5 or 3 of the framework on the target machine to develop in '08. However, you can't use .NET 2.0 and use features from 3.5 in your application. When you build your install pack include the correct framework 3.5 for example to be installed. The end user will then have it. Just because it is posted on the MS Update site does not make it a req download anyway. So in the end there's no way to know for sure that EO will have it installed.
Answer:
The key to this question is on the:
Project/Studio 2008 Properties Menu
Application tab / Target Framework
