 I still haven’t installed Visual Studio 2008 SP1 on all my Virtual PC’s and there is a pre-release version of Visual Studio 2010 and the .NET Framework 4.0 that you can download and install. Wow!You can download Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework 4.0 here.

 

Getting the .NET Framework Path and Version

Hey Balaji i came across a handy tip for getting the path to the current .NET Framework version and the version number.

I had been using Reflection…
System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly.Location

Here’s a better way, as found in websites…
System.Runtime.InteropServices.RuntimeEnvironment.GetRuntimeDirectory

You can get the version of the runtime using:
System.Runtime.InteropServices.RuntimeEnvironment.GetSystemVersion

Cheers… Happy Coding…
