WinXP has 4.0, LKO. 4.5 is the latest.

MSVC2008: .NET 3.5 (still supported XP SP2)
MSVC2010: .NET 4.0 (still supported XP SP3)
MSVC2012: .NET 4.5 (only supports Win7 and Win8)

This is how I learnt them.

^^sounds good too. I never tried 4.0 for XP as i heard a lot of bad things about it. Like missing downward compatibility to programs written in .NET 3.5 and other stuff.

That applies to any major .NET version.

2.x isn't backwards compatible with 1.x.
3.x isn't backwards compatible with 1.x or 2.x... etc.

You know, if you'd be right, I couldn't even write Ares code for a long while because I only have Win7 since this Nov or so while Ares already use auto and such C++0x standardized stuff supported only since VC2010.

huh? You sure can run programs compiled under 2.0 in a 3.5 environment.

What i meant and heard was, that a .NET 3.5 compiled program didn't run under a 4.0 environment, because 4.0 missed some basic 3.5 libraries.

Thank you for replying.

My OS win 7 64-bit, so 4.5 would be the newest, cause im trying to run C&C 3 tiberium wars, and EA told me to get the latest NET framework.

I've never encountered such issues although I used XP (with Visual Studio 2010) for most of my programming from 2010 to 2012. AFAIK .NET isn't backwards compatible, but that's not really a problem since you can have multiple versions installed at the same time.
