.NET Framework 3.0

Artigo
06/09/2006

When speaking to developers about WinFX one question that repeatedly comes up is, “WinFX sounds great, but what happens to .NET?” .NET Framework has becomes the most successful developer platform in the world. Developers know and love .NET.

The .NET Framework has always been at the core of WinFX, but the WinFX brand didn’t convey this. The WinFX brand helped us introduce the incredible innovations in terms of Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) and the newly christened Windows CardSpace (WCS) formerly known under the codename “InfoCard.” The brand also created an unnatural discontinuity between previous versions of our framework and the current version.

With this in mind we have decided to rename WinFX to the .NET Framework 3.0. .NET Framework 3.0 aptly identifies the technology for exactly what it is – the next version of our developer framework.

The change is in name only and will not affect the technologies being delivered as part of the product. The .NET Framework 3.0 is still comprised of the existing .NET Framework 2.0 components, including ASP.NET, WinForms, ADO.NET, additional base class libraries and the CLR, as well as new developer-focused innovative technologies in WPF, WCF, WF and WCS:

The .NET Framework 3.0 will still ship with Windows Vista, and will be available down-level for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 as planned. This change doesn’t affect in any way the ship schedules of either Windows Vista or the .NET Framework 3.0 itself.

We are confident that this change will go a long way towards reducing confusion people may have about our developer platform and the technologies in which they should invest.

Namaste!

So, WinFX, err .NET 3.0 will also include C# 3.0 (Linq, etc), any CLR changes planned?

Will the next VS be built for/on .NET 3.0? (like now VS 2005 is built for .net 2.0)

Windows Presentation Foundation was so much fun to use :)

Is this the final nail in the coffin of having WinFX, er .NET 3.0, become the "preferred" API for future versions of Windows (or at least Vista)? It seems so to me. :-( So the .NET Framework remains a "developer platform" that is distinctly separate from the OS API. What's the deal here? When we switched from Win16 to Win32 everybody knew that the new API was coming. With .NET it is ambiguous. Is .NET quitely becoming the successor to Win32 over time? Or is .NET just another development platform like Java or MFC which just "sits" on the OS API? I think this is a question that Microsoft needs to answer because the story put forth at PDC 2003 seems to have changed quite a bit.

I posted some more detailed answers to common questions here: http://blogs.msdn.com/jasonz/archive/2006/06/09/624629.aspx

Quick answers:
1. .NET FX 3.0 is based on .NET FX 2.0 and will therefore use the 2.0 compilers.

2. LINQ is an Orcas feature which means it is after .NET FX 3.0.

3. After we finish updating the build to match the naming changes, .NET FX 3.0 will be installed into the %windir%Microsoft.NETFrameworkV3.0.

Honestly, this is really dumb, and judging from some of the initial comments, is actually contributing to the confusion about .NET 3.0.

I liked WinFX. It had a nice futuristic feel to it, especially if you were coming from the world of Win32, Win16, etc...

What was wrong with .NET 2.0 FX? You could of kept .NET 2.0, and used the "FX" marketing to include all of these technologies being bundled together. Going from 2.0 to 3.0 implies a rather LARGE feature set increase and that's really not true. But hey, whatever, you guys do whatever you want to do. You're Microsoft after all. Just expect more confusion than not.

Rebranding it to .NET Framework v3.0 will make things a lot more confusing.:

.NET 2.0 = ADO.NET 2.0, ASP.NET 2.0, CLR 2.0, C# 2.0
.NET 3.0 = ADO.NET 2.0, ASP.NET 2.0, CLR 2.0, C# 2.0, WPF, WCF ... (?)
.NET 4.0= ADO.NET 3.0, ASP.NET 3.0, CLR 2.0, C# 2.0, WPF, WCF ... (?)

Better would be:

Hey, I don't appreciate nor like renames very much - but indeed, it should have been named the .NET Framework 3.0 from the very beginning!!! Okay, purhaps not the third version if the run-time is going to be the same, just an extension to the set of framwork classes. But anyway, maybe this should just be looked upon as Microsoft taking self-criticism seriously. If similar technologies could be fewer and rather combined into a single non-profiled product it got to make things easier for everybody.

Let's get to the practical questions of this change:

Will the 2.0 assemblies (like System.dll) included in 3.0 have a version change, or will it be the same version?

Either way, how does this affect side-by-side installations of .net? That is, can I have 1.1, 2.0 and 3.0 installed? Or does 3.0 actually update 2.0? Will we need to change runtime bindings in our manifests?

Will .net 2.0 continue to be supported via service packs, or is 3.0 going to effectively end-of-life 2.0?

will we get a .net 3.0 sdk that includes "the sdk formerly known as winFx" , instead of having to install the mammoth vista win sdk to develop apps?

Thanks!

I'm concerned about the same things as Phillip. Versioning is going to be a nightmare!

If Microsoft really wants to lump this all into .NET Framework 3.0, then they need to do a full version upgrade of EVERYTHING. All of the languages should be versioned 3.0. The compiler and the framework itself should be 3.0. The WinFx functionality should be an integral part of the Framework (i.e. proper namespacing in respect to other Framework objects). Etc... Etc... Tacking extra functionality onto 2.0 and calling it 3.0 leaves developers floundering when it comes to version detection.

We've only started converting old 1.1 applications to 2.0 in the past couple of months. We will be supporting 1.1 applications for years to come. Now we're going to have yet another version change? Side-by-side installation had BETTER be supported with 2.0 and 3.0 or we simply won't bother.

It is a great idea!

Today we have tons of code running either under 1.1 or 2.0, and upgrading some of the code from 1.1 to 2.0 was painful, this is why the code runs side by side.

Having 3.0 as a separate .NET platform is the right thing to do, we can then easily have parts of the application running in 3.0 (for the new features) without braking the entire application that runs under 2.0 and 1.1

Those are welcome news. I don't want to say I told you, but I remember I suggested John Montgomery to stick to the .NET branding in a comment to his blog, back in November 2003. That was just after the PDC in which all these new technologies were announced.

The general consensus by then was that the.NET branding had been completely eroded by the various marketing mistakes Microsoft made (like adding the .NET moniker to products that did not carry the CLR).

But I told him that we developers were not that much confused and that we always got the story right.

It is nice to see that once more Microsoft does as I want ;)

Good.
With Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), formerly code-named Indigo having its own implementation to provide the latest and greatest in Web Services standard. It was darn confusing whether we need to use the web services framework in .net 2.0 or use WCF for future compatibility with the next gen framework.

Now we are guaranteed that WCF will keep up with compiler changes in the .net framework.

There is a similar issue with SQLXML classes hope that get integrated with the .net framework too.

It would indicate CRL 2.0 / compilers from 2.0 or C# 2.0. It is only logicall that features (like WPF) from 2.5 wouldn't be avaiable in 2.0. We had this scenario with 1.1, which already had features that 1.0 missed!

It this new MARKETING (boom! on this word) renaming for Vista to look cool, we will have C#3.0 with LINQ etc, which won't work in .NET 3.0 but in .NET 3.5 which is more messy (0.5 should indicate only some feature addons not language/compilers change!). Solution is to rename it to C# 4.0 and skip some version number like in DirectX history.

AH!

The reason I don't like the change:
I'd like WPF, WCF etc become part of .Net Framework. But I don't like the fact that original class libraries and compilers are "betrayed".
It would be good to ADD WPF etc to .Net Framework 3.0.
But you're just bundling WPF with .Net Framework 2.0 and calling that 3.0. That doesn't make sense.

Oren - Not sure if your comments were aimed more at .NET or InfoCard, but since you explicitly name the latter, I guess your concerns are around the interoperability of CardSpace (formerly "InfoCard").

Nothing has changed here. CardSpace is just InfoCard with a "real" name. All that you've (clearly) come to understand about this technology remains true.

CardSafe is Microsoft's implementation of the core user experience of the Identity Metasystem. CardSafe communicates between identity providers and relying parties using open standard protocols in order to provide an open, inclusive environment in which identity and other forms of personal information can be securely exchanged.

Hope this clears up your concerns on this front.

What's frightening about a .NET 3.0 version instead of a major upgrade of .NET 2.0 to some 2.1 like 1.1 was to 1.0, is that developers would have to obtain Visual Studio Orcas/2007 in order to compile assemblies that target version 3.0 without having to go to Notepad... It's already spoken that VS2005 is one way to go to develop for Windows Vista, but a major version change indicates that a new version of VS is needed to develop for it.
Still, I agree that it the correct name most likely IS .NET Framework "some version above 2.0", but also that it makes it hard for developers who are currently targeting something named WinFX.
So yes, it is wrong to rename products, because it is confusing, and a lot more reasons, but this time it has been changed towards what should always have been.

Kea - No, you won't need a whole new version of Visual Studio to compile .NET FX 3.0 applications - just as you don't need a new version of Visual Studio 2005 to compile WinFX apps today. This is just a packaging and naming consolidation, not a major upheaval.

And to the points raised in the comments on this blog – everything you know about .NET FX 2.0 will still apply in .NET FX 3.0 – this is why we’re not planning any major updates to .NET FX 2.0 – it’s a great platform with awesome capabilities.

Most of the “changes” in .NET FX 3.0 are additive – the inclusion of Windows Communications, Presentation and Workflow Foundation, and CardSpace.

Regarding why we didn’t call this .NET FX 2.1/2.5/whatever is that the additional technologies included in .NET FX 3.0 are a significant addition above and beyond the existing shipping .NET FX 2.0. When we shipped .NET FX 1.1, there were some fundamental changes to the classes included in .NET FX 1.0 – this isn’t the case with .NET FX 3.0 – hence the specific choice of .NET Framework 3.0.

This naming change may, at first glance appear a little confusing but we strongly believe that consolidating all our managed developer technologies into one long-term platform will offer greater simplicity and consistency than introducing (yet) another developer technology branding of WinFX.

Comments including this one: http://blogs.msdn.com/somasegar/archive/2006/06/09/624300.aspx#625064 regarding the "Tacking of Windows onto products such as CardSafe":

This is necessary. In order for Microsoft to protect its implementation of the user experience of the Identity Metasystem. Just as it will be necessary for IBM, Sun, Apple, (name your) Linux distro, etc., to protect their implementation of a similar feature.

This formal naming of the Windows feature (as mentioned earlier) in no way impacts or changes Microsoft's commitment to and support of the necessary WS-* protocols to enable CardSpace to interoperate with other technologies and platforms.

I'm with the crowd that thinks this is a Bad Thing®.

What was the big problem with leaving it separate from the core framework, like the Enterprise Libraries, until the CORE of the framework moved up to version 3 (at which time it would have made sense to roll WinFX into the framework.)

When it comes down to it, when most developers think of the .Net Framework, they're thinking of the core "System" libraries. Calling this .Net Framework 3.0 is going to confuse a lot of people (that don't read MS blogs) into thinking there really is a new framework (and a new version of Visual Studio), when there isn't.

I rely think MS shouldn't include more than the CLR and BCL in .Net Framework, and especialy anything that is pure windows technology. By doing this they won't be able to release a true new version of .Net Framework without updating all of those satelite technologies wich defeats the very purpose of versioning buit into .Net.

The bad thing is not merging WinFx into .Net. But because of this you delayed improvements to .Net Framework. You cut off C# 3.0 and VB.Net 9.0 , LinQ..... You put in trash compiler enchantments. Delayed the evolution of the platform.
You betrayed .Net developers.

Isn't it bad? If you release such ".Net 3.0" with Vista, you'll ruin the future of .Net. How may years will pass before you will release C# 3.0 and VB.Net 9.0 ? You'll delay them for years!

Why making FX2.0+WinFX = FX3.0??? Why??? There is nothing on WinFX that could make it FX3.0. WinFX is built on FX2.0, so why we must take it as FX3.0. Please leave it like it is. Dont your learn nothing from your last Win16, Win32, Win64 mess??? Please, .NET FX is .NET FX. WinFX is WinFX. .NET FX is a sole entity, WinFX needs .NET FX. Dont mess them.

You guys are missing the point: .NET Framework has always been about shipping a suite of runtime pieces. Imagine if a user could install pieces separately, like WCF, WPF, etc, instead all together as one set of technologies. It's much easier for Microsoft to ship everything as .NET Framework 3.0 and support all platforms. This way you know that if they have ".NET Framework 3.0" on their machine then they have all the associated technologies. You cannot install WPF separately, that's dead now with the new naming, and that's a good thing. Forget about what the individual technologies within the version are numbered, i.e. WPF is 1.0, .NET is 2.0. That's doesn't matter. The entire suite is .NET 3.0 and it's all or none when you install it.

I really hate this change, WinFX was cool and was sold as a replacement for Win32. We we told we would finally have an OS API that was object oriented and managed and was not just a platform on top of Win32.

Renaming it to .NET 3.0 and leaving it on a 2.0 CLR is going to add a lot of confusion, especially when "Orcas" is released, are we going to have .NET 3.1 then?

Please DO NOT DO THIS. This will just confuse everyone, the old questions of "what is .NET anyway" will all come back.

If anything make WinFX the furture of the .NET Framework. Drop the .NET name and use WinFX for this release, the next release can be WinFX 2.0 or even 3.0.

Better to come up with a naming standard/convention to avoid such confusions

This is stupid.

So DotNet3 will contain the dotnet 2.0 CLR, the same as dotnet2 does.

Suddenly we disconnect the dotnet version number from the CLR version number.

I think it's a great move.
Convincing managers to buy or even install a new product is much harder then an upgrade, so it's that much sooner that developers can actually use the features.

It might have even been even beter to name it 2.1, just like it happened with the first version.

Wouldn't ".Net Framework 2.0 R2" (Release 2) have been a better name, since the CLR and other libraries are not changing?
It would be more consistent with other naming trends in MS, and avoid decorrelating the version of the framework from the CLR!

I think WinFx, should be kept as an add-on or "beta" (even if WCF, WWF, WPC and WCS are final versions), until the arrival of a REAL .NET Framework 3.0 takes place (a .NET FX that is truly 3.0 from its CLR and includes all the stuff announced previously like C#, LINQ, ..plus WCF, WWF, WPF, WCS), if they don't do that, the only thing that will take place will be "confussion", and these questions: "what is .NET FX 3.0 really? WinFX on .NET 2.0, a whole new .NET FX? an Add-on for .NET 2.0? a new API?" will be flying around the web....for years, years,..years..maybe until .NET FX 4..:S:S!:P hehe...

The CLR shoud determine the version number so with CLR v2 the version should be 2.1. Major version number should only be incremented when the CLR changes.

.NET Framework 1.0 should have been named WinFX 1.0

I thing Microsoft should drop the name .NET Framework and fully adopt the WinFX name if they intend it to replace Win32.

I also think they should drop the .NET suffix from names like ADO.NET and ASP.NET

WinFX should be the managed API

The WinFX could then consists of the following parts
- CLR
- Win Forms
- ASP
- ADO
- WCS
- WF
- WCF
- WPF
- Linq
- ...

the W in WCS, WPF, WCF should stand for WinFX and not Windows since WinFX is not part of (a specific) Windows (version)

When the CLR is updated (to v3) and these parts are updated to require CLR v3 they should be v3.0. If another update comes that is based on CLR v3 that should be v3.1

is new .NET Framework/WinFX versions supposed to ship along new Windows versions or new Visual Studio Versions?

When new parts are released for WinFX without changes to the CLR then the Minor version should be incremented. If CLR 3.0 is released and later Linq is released then the WinFX should be v3.1

I also think that all managed languages and compilers should have # in their name ie VB.NET should be VB# (like C#) and have the same version number as the CLR that they use (VB 2005 should be VB# 2.0 since it uses CLR 2.0)

One installation directory per CLR version should be used ie
WindowsWinFXv3.0. The Assemblies should have the major and minor version numbers in their name (ie ADO(.NET) v2.0: System.Data.v20.dll and ADO(.NET) v2.1: System.Data.v21.dll)

When releasing a Service Pack increment the third part of the version number (.NET Framework 2.0 SP1 should have version number 2.0.1.*)

While I don't have any issues with naming/renaming the platforms/frameworks, I truly believe you guys should slow down the rate of introducing version after version in such short intervals. This is the case for almost all your software/technology, with the exception of VC++/VB6/COM/COM+/ASP etc (IMHO). For all their shortcomings, they lasted longer and the RoI on those was/is actually very good.

Not all companies that use your software, have the resources to train or adapt to keep up with Microsoft.

This is exactly like auto manufacturers marketing and making available their '2007' model in February of 2006.

I think renaming WinFX to the Framework 3.0 is a bad idea. This name change was for branding reasons as people were getting confused about the difference between WinFX and the Framework. Personally, it all seems very easy to understand. WinFX as just DLLs written in .NET 2.0. Upgrading to a new version of the .Net implies that there are significant changes to the underlying architecture such as adding Generic .Net 2.0 where 1.1 didn’t have Generics. My issue is we are building (and rolling out) a global application that is being used by fortune 100 companies. Unfortunately, a lot of these big companies are very slow at adopting new technologies. We have been working very hard to get .Net 2.0 authorized to use. We were hoping that it would be a minor hurdle to get the blessing to use WinFX once .Net 2.0 becomes authorized since WinFX is written in .Net 2.0. Even though that’s all it is, just calling it 3.0 will create huge and lengthy obstacles for building and implementing applications using WinFX (.Net 3.0). This is a big setback in the effort to using the latest and greatest.

BTW, not every Microsoft person agrees with this decision and that is why I posted a comment. Forget the technical details for two seconds, I am most concerned about the confusion that this is creating with customers. It could be that in a few months this will all just go away and we won't think of this anymore.

The best argument I have heard for making this name change is the following:

1) The intent is to include WinFX with the .NET Framework. It makes sense. ASP.NET, .NET Remoting, Enterprise Services, and Windows Forms are all a part of the framework. So why shouldn't WinFX?

2) WinFX and the .NET Framework 2.0 are installed on Vista.

3) If I install WinFX, I must install .NET Framework 2.0. I can't get one without the other.

The big question I have is regarding detecting framework version programmatically. I cannot just check if the .NET Framework v3.0 is install per the guidance below, or can I?

I love Microsoft and I love .NET. But this seemingly marketing dept. driven renaming should be nipped in the bud early. It's not too late to reconsider.

We developers thought we knew what the .NET Framework was. It was a class library that supported the development of what Microsoft has been telling us can be referred to as "managed" code that compiles to an intermediate layer that can then be compiled just in time to machine code.

The majority of Windows itself and therefore, I would presume Windows Vista, is not so-called "managed" code. It's not even appropriate to code everything, for example kernel stuff or a device driver, in managed code or to rewrite something that 1000 man-hours were invested in, in managed code just to say you did it.

So the confusion here for me and perhaps other developers is we thought WinFX was a library or API that supported Windows Vista and new technologies being delivered in the Vista timeframe, many of which, possibly even most of which wasn't "managed code" built on the CLR. And if the CLR was going to expose a lot of this functionality to .NET developers, it would potentially be a layer over WinFX that wrapped WinFX up. That may have been / may be a mistaken impression.

So it's really confusing to hear that Windows Vista will ship with what we thought was the .NET Framework 2.0, but because it also will ship with a lot of other new technologies the whole thing is going to be referred to as the .NET Framework 3.0.

You guys don't normally like to confuse your customers (which as developers, we are, in this case), and you pride yourself on listening to your customers. We're confused and not very happy about this naming idea.

I think the renaming was necessary and Microsoft did it at the last possible moment (during TechEd 2006 as the last big developer event before the final roll out).

I follow Microsoft for many years and even I had a hard time figuring out what WinFX really is.

Sure, many developers are not happy about the situation having a .NET Framework 3.0 based on a CLR 2.0 and a "C# 3.0 with LINQ" upcoming that are now becoming C# 3.5 or may be C# 4.0 (many Microsoft products, like VS C++, skipped version numbers in the past and VS InterDev - had a hard time recalling that name - even jumped from 1.0 to 6.0 if I remember that correctly) and will be also based on the CLR 2.0.

But we will get used to this too. Its the price for Microsoft's decision to give up the idea of a managed Windows API (the original idea of WinFX) somewhere in 2004 without telling the developer community about it so many still think of WinFX as an replacement for Win32.

Once again, I vote for dropping "The .NET Framework" if the .NET Framework will consist of more than just the CLR and the Base Class Library.

Release them as seperate products and stop referring to the whole thing as "The .NET Framework" as nobody referred to COM+, MSMQ ... in the past as "The Windows DNA Framework":

Seperate products:

1) CLR with MSCORLIB (mscorlib.dll)
2) ADO.NET (System.Data.dll)
3) ASP.NET (System.Web.dll)
3) Windows (System.Windows.Forms.dll)
4) ...

Seriously guys, consider this approach and stop having the marketing guys involved in this as "The .NET Framework" is a set of extensions that will be used by developers and not managers. That's right the developers are the target audience here.

Better make it clear across all sites in Microsoft and MSDN that .Net Framework 3.0 is the next version and that VB/C#.Net 3.0 are not the real VB/C#.Net 3.0. Unless you can promise to deliver them with .Net Framework 3.0.

Also, it should be made clear how .Net Framework 3.0 distribution will be handled now that the framework seems to include the formerly marketed Windows Vista specific foundations.

And it should be made clear that the formerly marketed Windows Vista specific foundations are going to be made available across all Windows versions that can support the .Net Framework 2.0 onwards.

Questions:

- With WPF, what is the future of Windows Forms?
- With WCF, what is the future of Enterprise Services?

How will WF and WCS affect the way .Net developers design and develop their applications for Windows and for platforms that support the .Net Framework?

These Windows Vista foundations are drastically altering the .Net Framework as it was introduced since version 1.0. The foundations are pushing many things obsolete, and probably depracated in the long run, as more and more parts of the .Net Framework programming languages are wrapped into a declarative and more expressive languages like XAML and LINQ.

personally I think it's a terrible idea, I agree with Chuck on the confusion it causes(3.0?4.0).

In order to use WinFx you need to understand it and it's relationship to .NET. If you don't know, or it confuses you, you're not the kind of person who should be worrying about it.

if you have to rename it, why not do the usual MS trick and bundle it under a different integration monicker, I'm thinking ".NET live" seeing as everything else is live these days.

.NET 3.0 is the single worst thing you could rename it after iNet or .Niit . . . . .

In a way I think it makes sense. If the CLR is mature enough for .NET to move on without it, that's OK.

Remember, it's the ".NET Framework". WinFX is a "Framework". It makes a lot of sense these move on together. The fact that the CLR hasn't changed is really just details.

The .NET framework now has workflow and a better communications system. I think whats confusing people here is before the framework has grown upwards, now it's growing outwards.

I was an early skeptic, but have come around to see their side (after a large scale war in my office).

Hmm, but then if you are still using the same CLR 2.0, why did you want to make a major version number change for the .NET framework. As a .NET developer I will not find any changes in .NET 2.0 and .NET 3.0 then. Is that right?

Fair Trade - You should not uninstall .NET 2.0. The versions of the framework are built on top of eachother so that 3.5 won't run without 3.0 which won't run without 2.0. This makes each release smaller as just additive on top of the previous version. -Meghan
