What Changed in .NET Framework 3.5 SP1?

  • Artikkeli

Patrick Smacchia, of NDepend fame, has done a detailed, low level look at exactly what changed in .NET Framework 3.5 SP1. 

Some data he lists:

# Assemblies    112
# Namespaces    919 to 935      (+16   +1.7%)
# Types    39 988 to 40 513      (+525   +1.3%)
# Methods    387 421 to 386 790      (-631   -0.2%)
# Fields    241 567 to 246 795      (+5 228   +2.2%)
# IL instructions    8 598 933 to 8 620 940      (+22 007   +0.3%)

Overall, for the amount of new functionality we added in SP1, I think this seems like fairly modest growth of the framework.

 

Patrick also includes some cool eye charts to help visualize the changes...  I am not sure you'll see this poster as a marketing give away at the next conference, but it is pretty neat to look at.. 

 

Enjoy!

    I'd be curious to hear why the method count went down?

    The "eye chart" should have been done in Deep Zoom to see the details of each section. Not to late yet ;-) ..Ben

    I second Ben's comment - that's a deep zoom image if ever there was one!

    If you are looking for .NET 3.5 SP 1 Framework hosting, you may have a look at http://www.asphostcentral.com. I have my site running under .NET3.5 SP 1 and SQL 2005 and it works perfectly.
