.NET version for developing add-ins
« on: April 13, 2012, 06:13:31 pm »
Just curious, I use Visual Studio 2010 for my development. What version of .NET do you guys use for writing your add-ins, and does it really matter?

I am more curious as to whether you use .NET 3.5 or .NET 4.0 and which would be more suitable for commercial deployment

Cheers
Models are great!
Correct models are even greater!

Hi Phil,

I'm currently using Sharp Develop with the .NET 4.0 SDK and everything seems to work flawlessly.

Best regards,
Günther

I'm doing the same as Günther.
I don't remember exactly which, but there was a specific reason to move to .Net 4.0

The EA Navigator has been downloaded from Github about 500 times now, and I've only gotten a few remarks from people that had issues because they didn't have .Net 4.0 framework installed.

I know there's a possibility to add an option to download and install the correct .Net version in your wix installer, but I've never gotten around to actually implementing it.

I had only one single case for an AddIn where I explicitely used the .NET 2.0 SDK (again with Sharp Develop IDE). It was intended also to run with EA under Linux/Crossover, and I couldn't get anything newer than the .NET 2.0 framework components installed in this environment.
