How compatible are .NET Framework versions 2.0 and 3.0?
I basically have two questions here...
If an application was developed using .NET Framework 2.0, can it be run on a machine that only has .NET Framework 3.0 installed?
And if an application was developed using .NET Framework 3.0 but only uses version 2.0 of the CLR (which comes with both .NET Framework 2.0 and 3.0), and doesn't use any of the new .NET Framework 3.0 components (WPF, WCF, WWF, WCS), can it be run on a machine that only has .NET Framework 2.0 installed?
