Targeting .NET 4.0 because of a requirement to be compatible on XP.

I'm not targeting the .NET framework but am answering the survey despite it saying "for net developers" because I'm a repwhore and want my points anyway.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Since there is an option, it's the survey that should not mention the "I'm not targeting ..." option.

...who still targets .Net 1.1 ![Rose | [Rose]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)
I have been through .Net 1.1 for more than two years, and I can say people working(targeting) on 1.1 are most poor souls in the world.
Aaargh that DataGrid!!

our main app is still in vb6; sigh. Somehow it has been configured to point to all the frameworks including 4.0 Someday soon, when the dinasour developers become extinct/retire, we may then bring it up to date.
oh, oh, witty witty ditty || something stupid

=| here there are still vb6 applications.. and its kinda hard to debug and maintain it.. because of the what so called Legacy Code .. which is not a OOP based coding..

believe me VB6 is quite a simple langauge.. however i am agree to your point of "not a OOPS based coding", however you can mimic that!.

Well, I've started studying C# on .NET 3.5. But now I'm work on .NET 4.0 and have a lot of difficult things. But I'll double my step to master it.

Keep going. Struggling to keep up with Mickeysoft and their random changes of direction is good practice and by the time you are tired of it you will be ready for some great projects.

I usually target 4.0, as it is now widely available enough that I don't have to worry about whether users have the correct version or not.
I did one recent project using some of the new Task features, which did require 4.5. However, given that, when I ran it on a machine that didn't have 4.5, it popped up a message with a direct link to download 4.5 from Microsoft, I see no reason not to just go with 4.5 for all new projects (unless Windows XP support is still needed - but I thankfully don't need to worry about that anymore!)

I use 4.0 when I want to do something with XNA.

Up until this last year all of my targets have been 2.0 or 3.5. Primarily for OS support and political reasons. All but 1 or 2 projects at my fulltime job and freelance work require XP support. I have 1 app that actually has to support Win2k. So 2.0 is only option..  Politics...
we constantly fight that balance of support vs convenience. Simply recompiling projects from 2.0/3.5 to 4.0 to stay relatively current may seem like a great idea for consistency and testing in department meetings.. But deploying out your app to 200+ customers and you find than all but a handful are XP users and either have to sit thru a Framework Install & Reboot or can't run your product at all because you changed frameworks can be inefficient and chaos.

Until windows XP goes away (may or may not be next year), use .NET 4.5 with care for desktop apps...

I don't think .NET 4.5 is supported on WinXP. See this[^] link.

Yes, you're right. But You can install it on Windows XP.

Most of my projects target the framework 4.0. Only the latest one targets 4.5.

Well, could you teach me the difference between .Net 4.0 and .Net 4.5?
