Questions on Dot Net Framework 3.0

[dhanashivam]

Hi All,

I have some questions on Framework 3.0. Can anybody please clear these?

My web application is developed by Framework 2.0 with C#.NET, VS2005 and SQLServer 2000.

If i go for Framework 3.0,

1. Why Should i go for this version?

2. As I have seen on the web, all the namespaces and classes in framework 2.0 are also available. What is the advantage for me to migrate my application from 2.0 to 3.0?

3. In my web application i have used, Web services and Windows Services. Is any specific advantages for these areas while shifting to 3.0 framework?

4. We are using web parts and share point portal in our application. Is any specific advantages for these areas while shifting to 3.0 framework?

5. How will the 3.0 framework help the user to have better performance, style, look?

6. Any specific database side advantages?

7. Any specific AJAX based advantages?

Please help me to clear on those points.

Thanx in advance

The .NET Framework 3.0 (and 3.5) are add-ons to the .NET Framework 2.0. They give you extra features to use in your code. Implementing your projects with these Frameworks let you create "Vista-style" applications and also give you more controls to work with, and more features to use (that you had to do by hand and are now available).

3. In my web application i have used, Web services and Windows Services. Is any specific advantages for these areas while shifting to 3.0 framework?

I'm not sure about this one because I mainly implement web applications. If you are implementing desktop applications to consume your Web Service or use your Windows Service, you run the risk that the user may not have these Frameworks installed. You'll have to put in a check and tell them to update in order to use your software.

4. We are using web parts and share point portal in our application. Is any specific advantages for these areas while shifting to 3.0 framework?

5. How will the 3.0 framework help the user to have better performance, style, look?

I recommend switching to it. These Frameworks have added features for connecting to databases, the Codeplex ASP.NET Ajax Toolkit has added features that only work with Frameworks newer than 2.0....There are new technologies that are being developed that build on this technology. By switching your applications will have an opportunity to incorporate these new technologies.


You should really research these Frameworks on Microsoft sites to make the decision for yourself. I have switched and am happy with the new features available to me as a developer.

Thanx for ur reply.

I know the advantages for the developer.

But my superior is asking the customer point of view only. because we are woking with our products. if we go for another version of framework we need to explain the customer for the features.

The look and feel will not be the major advantages for the existing customer. They will ask the operation wise advantages. innit?

That's why i am asking those questions.
