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

It's not a queston of Which but What!!

..NET 1.0 > C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705
..NET 1.1 > C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322
..NET 2    > C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727
..NET 3    > C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.0
..NET 3.5 > C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5

Don't forget:

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.
