    Vista and .NET

    Quick one - does Vista come with the .NET framework pre-installed (I'm guessing 1.1 or maybe 2.0) at all? Just so that I know which other redistributables to run to get up to date. Is there a way to check. Only just moved to Vista for my main machine so not exactly sure how to check

    Thanks, JP

    Yup, its built into Vista although I'm not certain which version/s.

    You can check it in services

    Re: Vista and .NET

    Aha - cheers agent - was searching around for the admin tools panel that used to be there in XP... It seems like it has .NET 2.0 (Though that might have come from the SP1). Anyway, its there...

    Thanks again.

    Re: Vista and .NET

    the admin panel in administrative tools is actually a compent from the SDK rather than the framework.

    now as 3.5/3.0 are built on 2.0, its much easyer to cope with missing frameworks!

    (AppDomain.Current.AssemblyResolve += .... from memory might be wrong)
    throw new ArgumentException (String, String, Exception)

    Re: Vista and .NET

    Vista comes with 2.0, but not 1.1 - this has caught me out before

    Wink Re: Vista and .NET

    Most stuff which requires it usually needs at least .NET 2.0 now, which is probably why it's the version included with Vista?

    Whilst we're on the subject/for anyone interested: v3.5 SP1 update has been released

    Re: Vista and .NET

    Vista should come with at least v3.0. All post v2.0 versions (including the little known v2.5 which added AJAX) are extensions to the v2.0 Framework. Vista should run any v2.0 compiled assemblies/executables without problem.

    Unfortunately if you want to run v1.1 CLRs, then you will need to install the .Net Framework v1.1 as well.

    More information can be found here:

    So has Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1 - and boy, does it need it (37 crashes yesterday alone).

    If you want full .NET support (now) then you should download:

    .NET 1.1
    .NET 3.5 Service Pack 1 (includes .NET 2.0, .NET 3.0)

    How to make VS 2k8 Crash:
    Use the XAML designer.

    Simple.

    Actually since i've been on the stable builds of reSharper 4.0, i've had very few crashes (about 3 a week). Not to shabby!

    Easier: just load my solution. It falls over right away.

    Seems like an errors in user-code cause the whole IDE to pile over. I miss the days of multiple service packs for VS (VC6 1-6a for example). Now they're just churning out unfinished IDE's in an effort to get .NET established. I like the tech, it's ethos and the benefits it brings to devs but the tools suck.

    Question - have you tried Visual Assist X by comparison? I might well give resharper a go myself.
