Does each .NET version 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, etc. &nbsp; contain their previous version(s) libraries?<br />
Or Say you do not have .NET Framework on your PC and you download for instance &nbsp;.NET 4.0<br />
will it load the previous versions? &nbsp;My understanding is that each.NET version contains different<br />
libraries. So it appears each &nbsp;version builds on top of the previous version. So that is why it is dangerous to remove a version of .NET????

.NET Framework versions

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.
