newbie question:
Just starting at a new company.
How can I detect whether and what version of dotnet framework is installed.
And if it's installed locally or on server....
I'm new to programming c# and vb net so some of the basics are unknown to
me.
on my local box i see C:\Program Files\Microsoft.NET in which are 2 folders
Adomd.net nad Primary Interop Assemblies
We have at least one custom prog written in vb.net so I'm sure we have some
framework, just dont' see something obvious...
I don't see any prog files or .net folders on server so assume we just have
local copies of whatever?

On my laptop I have net3.5 and there is a more extensive folder structure
iirc

thanks
mark

Mark,

Adding to what Paul said, .Net is never remotely installed for your use.
.Net is installed locally. You may have .Net on a server to run ASP.Net
websites however.

If you are new to programming in .Net, then you will need to also identify
the development platform. .Net 1.1 -> Visual Studio 2003, .Net 2.0 -> Visual
Studio 2005 or 2008, .Net 3.0/3.5 -> Visual Studio 2008, though there are
some that I seem to recall have gotten VS 2005 to work with .net 3.0/3.5.

There is a very long thread on Microsof.Public.DotNet.General yesterday and
today discussing the linkages between VS versions and .net framework versions.

Hope this helps.
Mike

Hi, Mark.

You could also look in Add/Remove programs in the Control Panel under
"Microsoft .Net Framework ...". It's lists every version and their service
pack levels installed on your machine.
