I'm sorry, this is simply not true. .NET Frameworks are not cumulative; having .NET Framework 3 does nothing for an application written to a Framework 1 or 2.
.NET Frameworks are virtual machines. The software developer writes to the features and APIs of that virtual machine model. They are not compatible. An application written to the .NET Framwork 2 virtual machine, will not run if only .NET Framework 3 is installed. -- ============ MS-MVP 2004 - -2008, ASAP Member Users Helping Users
