46.4. Summary
In this chapter you have seen how you can upgrade existing .NET applications to Visual Studio 2008 and version 3.5 of the .NET Framework. Using the latest toolset and framework version clearly has some advantages in performance, functionality, and usability. However, don't overlook the limitations that using the latest .NET Framework might impose. If your target market still uses old operating systems, such as Windows 2000, you may want to stay on version 2.0 of the .NET Framework, because this is supported on these platforms. Visual Studio 2008 allows you to have the best of both worlds, only upgrading as and when you want to.
