Simon Brown Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Another poll - but this one is actually useful. I want to know what percentage of pdn users use certain versions of .NET so that I know which framework versions it is safe for my plugins to use features from.

Mike Ryan Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Using 3.5 And my recommendation is to target .NET 2.0 being how that is the minimum requirement for Paint.NET, but there are exceptions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I say target whichever version you want to use features from. .NET is free. Paint.NET 4.0 will require .NET 3.5.

harold Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 .NET 3.5 is almost 200MB (6 minute download for me) So I'll stick to 2.0 as long as possible.. (so probably until PDN 4 is released) @sabrown100: what's in 3 or 3.5 that you would want to use anyway? Quote I would write plugins, if I knew what kind of plugins were needed..

I Like Pi Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 .NET 3.5 is almost 200MB (6 minute download for me) The 200 MB version is only for the redistributable, which includes code for every possible configuration, including 64 bit. On a fresh XP virtual machine with no .NET, it was about 60 MB. It should be smaller for you since you already have .NET 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Brown Posted February 21, 2008 Author Share Posted February 21, 2008 I don't know and I have XP.How do I find out? Go to C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework. There will be several folders in there with numbers on - the highest is your version of the framework. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrddin Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I don't know and I have XP.How do I find out? Go to C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework. There will be several folders in there with numbers on - the highest is your version of the framework. Control Panel > Add / Remove programs disregards any and all fuss, and the browsing through system folders, especially for someone who may not be comfortable doing so. As an alternative means, of course .

vista? Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I say target whichever version you want to use features from. .NET is free. Paint.NET 4.0 will require .NET 3.5. What are the chances of MS making a newer version of .NET framework before 4.0? - Just a little question I'm wondering. As for me, I'm running NET 3.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that .NET 4.0 will arrive in 2009 at the same time as Windows 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sozo Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I say target whichever version you want to use features from. .NET is free. Paint.NET 4.0 will require .NET 3.5. I believe that, beyond this statement, this thread is unnecessary. The .NET framework doesn't affect anything visible (i.e. your user experience) other than Paint.NET and a few other programs.

On a fresh XP virtual machine with no .NET, it was about 60 MB. It should be smaller for you since you already have .NET 2. The non-redist does not work (for me) (it keeps failing and retrying the download) I would want the 64 bit version which is unfortunately bigger than the 32 bit version anyway (using 32bit .NET on a 64bit computer is almost a crime) I believe that, beyond this statement, this thread is unnecessary. The .NET framework doesn't affect anything visible (i.e. your user experience) other than Paint.NET and a few other programs. It affects any .NET program (so all C# and VB.NET programs for example) and there are actually quite a lot of them. But most of them only need .NET 2.0 anyway, and just about everyone has that.

DarkShock Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Ok, I saw how to finf out which framework I'm using, but how do I get 3.5 if I don't have it?
