.NET Framework versions
-
As I browse the forums, I keep finding one problem. Someone posted a fix for .NET framework 2.0 or 3.0 and the people asking only have 1.1. I have two questions: 1: Why do people still use old versions of the framework, especially 1.1? 2: What is the difference between the versions. Just for the record, I looked on Google, but I came here looking for an explanation in relatively plain English.

Answer to your first question why people still use version 1.1 There are many reasons for that 1.most of the time people don't want to come out from comfort level with existing version 2.and majorly for supporting existing project which is in older version (1.1)

1. There are many reasons. Some don't want to use it as it might break stuff, this is a valid reason for a while but they should put the effort in to test stuff. Some employers are too cheap to upgrade to the new version of Visual Studio. I once knew of an employer so cheap they made the developers use the shareware version of http://www.editplus.com/[^] rather than pay for a proper IDE. As a side note if you ever go for a job interview an they're using an old or unsuitable IDE for no good reason ask your self if it's because the company isn't profitable enough or they don't value the developers. Some don't want the extra download requirements of the new frameworks. In many countries 20 meg can still be a considerable chunk on dial up internet. 2. Whats new in .Net 2.0[^] .Net 3.0 home page[^]

That is better. At least half a dozen companies in a random sampling of 50 in Chennai can be booked for illegal software. Microsoft and NASSCOM has to do something to 'check' menace.
