unless you have a problem with .net 2.0 (there is a known memory issue, if you use some programs), you dont need to upgrade .net 3.0

however, runuo 2.0 should work just fine on .net 3.0.

Hmm... .NET 3.0 is just a name for .NET 2.0 + some others :
# Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF)
# Windows Communication Foundation (WCF)
# Windows Workflow Foundation (WF)
# Windows CardSpace (WCS))

well, it indeed includes those components but .net 2.0 is not same with .net 3.0.

language specifications are changed; added some new features..

I've heard that .Net 3.0 is more like .Net 2.1 in reality...

2.5 ya ...

I installed 3.0 without a problem. Understand that it doesn't really update the C# language or the CRL as far as I can tell. It's some new functional libraries, including the rather interesting XAML stuff.

In other words, you don't need it, but you can get it if you want it.

 

[Courageous]

Yup, xactly.

Since you are one of the Devs here, are you using 3.0 to run and/or compile?
And if so do you see any differences?

 

[TMSTKSBK]

Methinks the main branch is still on 2.0. And I dunno if Jeff does any *RunUO* stuff -- he's the brainmaster behind ConnectUO.

 

[mordero]

Compiling the server in 3.0 (which would technically still be 2.0) would be no different than 2.0 since .net 3.0 actually includes version 2.0 of the CLR and just includes the new things Kaon said.

 

[noobie]

why do you keep saying that the language is not changed?

Because this is the language specification of c# 3.0, which is not included in .net 3.0 and still under development. This seems to confuse a lot of people, since Microsoft renamed WinFX to .Net 3.0

If it's 2.5 why is microsoft calling it 3.0?

Cuz microsoft is retarded. Havn't you ever been to Starbucks? lol. But seriously, Microsoft is retarded as hell. This isn't even an update; its more or less adding stupid crap that no one will ever use.

Cuz C# pwns as it is.
Period.

umm, that I didnt know.

I knew language specs are changed and just assumed it is in .net 3.0
