.NET Framework

February 20, 2008

In my Add/Remove Programs list I have the following:

..NET Framework 1.1

..NET Framework 1.1 Hotfix

..NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 1

..NET Framework 3.0 Service Pack 1

..NET Framework 3.5

Do I need to keep all of these on my PC or just the latest (3.5)?

Thanks

Re: .NET Framework

The versions of the .NET Framework are designed to be side-by-side and can

remain on your system together. Some programs address a specific version

(usually an error) so you should leave all installed.

Is there some issue you think this may be causing you?

All. Some programs require a specific version, and a newer one will

not work.

But what about the "ain't?"

The point is that the phrase is a colloquialism, and has

been around (grammatical errors and all) for many years.

RE: .NET Framework

Probably a DUMB question....why do I need framework at all ? Just what does

it do ? (briefly)

I have had ver 1 to 3.5. I have uninstalled all of them.

Machine seems to run better without .net framework.

Windows Update wants to install an update, so apparently, something still

exists out there.

I suppose at some point, I will need to reinstall .net framework.

It is the runtime environment for any app that uses .NET .

Among other things, it acts as the virtual machine for .NET

languages. In that respect, it's like the Java virtual machine.

You couldn't run Java without its virtual machine. You couldn't

run anything written in C# without the .NET Frameowork, either -

or anything written in C++.NET, or J#, or COBOL.NET, etc.

You'll find as time goes by, that more and more apps and utilities

will depend on .NET Framework being installed because .NET

allows for shorter development times, so you might as well have

..NET Framework installed

..Net is a family of programming languages. The .net framework is a

corresponding run-time file for programs written using .net. You can't

run a .net program unless you have the corresponding .net framework

file available for it to use.

If you run such programs, you need the .net framework for them. If you

don't run them, you don't need them.

> I have had ver 1 to 3.5. I have uninstalled all of them.

If you got away with doing that, then you don't run any programs that

need them. At some point in the future, you may find that you will

want to run such a program, and will have to reinstall one or more of

these.

> Machine seems to run better without .net framework.

Nope, not possible. You might not have needed them, but there's no

downside to having them, and the computer can't run better without

them. What you did is like removing the ashtray from your car because

you don't smoke. That's' fine--you may not need the ashtray, but

removing it won't make the car run any better.

Since there are a lot of programs that need them, you will likely have

to reinstall one or more of them in the future.

Unless (possibly) it adds some resident running processes after windows

boots up. Does it do that, or does it ONLY do so when a program requiring

it is run? (I can't recall).

COBOL.NET results from an effort to bring those old

COBOL programs into the .NET environment. It's probably

cheaper to do that than to resurrect all those old retired (and

increasingly departed) programmers from the 50s. Do a google

search on COBOL.NET, and you'll get lots of hits. Here is

just one:

I'm not sure what this has to do with the .net framework, but COBOL

doesn't go back to the 1940s, and just barely to the 1950s. COBOL was

created in 1959. I personally started programming in 1962, and started

using COBOL in 1966.
