Hello Krzysztop,

either I don't understand the red bits / green bits concept or there are some additional considerations.

Should'nt the green bits from .NET 3.0 be red bits in 3.5 ?. Or is the green bits red bits concept only limited to the CLR ?

Why not to release the full suite of assemblies every time you release a new version of .NET framework? It would make everyone's life much easier. Now people need to remember that System.ServiceModle.dll is part of .NET 3.0 but System.Data.dll is part of .NET 2.0. What is more now I have to keep on my hard drive both versions whereas I could just upgrade to .NET 3.0 and forget about .NET 2.0. Just my two cents.

Martin, yes, all assemblies in 3.0 are red in 3.5.

Pawel, I might net be understanding your question, but we do release all assemblies in new versions of the framework. That is if you install Framework 3.5, you get all assemblies that were in 2.0 and 3.0, plus new assemblies.

Yes, that is true regarding 2.0 and 3.5. But 3.0 is different and that's why people are confused so often.

In your screenshot you have the error message "Test.Program.Main calls System.Runtime.GCLatencyMode which is not avaliable .NET Framework 2.0". You spelt "avaliable" wrong :-)

Krzysztof, is there any chance to get this to be part of VS9 RTM ? It could be really useful with current implementation of multitargeting ... thanks

Pawel, could you please point me to the place where you see a 3.0 redist without the 2.0 assemblies? I might be wrong but I was under the impression that 3.0 works just like the 3.5 redist.

Paul, thanks for catching the type. I will fix it next time I update the rule project.

Martin, I will forward you suggestion to the fxcop team. I would love to see this rule in the offiical product as well.

My point is that if you want to add a reference and you have .NET 3.0 installed on your machine then the only version of System.Data.dll you see is 2.0. There is no v3.0 of System.Data. All I'm saying is that it would be better to either always release all the assemblies or release new ones with the same version which means V2.0 regarding for example System.ServiceModel.dll. Then you would not have to do all the juggling :).

Krzysztof, thanks for the new rules. It would be great if this could be part of VS2008. Can this rule work with the standalone version of FxCop as well, since not everyone has access to the Team System editions?

Thanks for this.

One problem that we're running into: For a short while at least, we will be running side-by-side with VS2005, and the 2.0 red bits show up in there as well, but the compiled fxcop rule you present here does not seem to work for the VS2005 FX Cop engine, and recompiling under 2005 would require a bit of re-work as you use anonymous types in your source.

Any easy solutions? Or should we just do the re-work to build it under 2005?

Kirk,

Scott Dorman has ported the rule to 2.0. You can read more about it at http://geekswithblogs.net/sdorman/archive/2007/10/09/Standalone-FxCop-Multi-Targeting-Rules.aspx

Krzysztof, thanks this is a great resource. One question though, in the downloadable sample, there are skeletons for comparing the changes in the 2.0 and 3.0 frameworks introduced with 3.5 + SPs. However, only the 2.0 rules are implemented. Would there be any possibility of getting a CallOnly30APIs.txt manifest and CallOnly30APIs.cs? That would be a huge help. Thanks!
