Implicit line continuations in Framework 4.0 misleading

Implicit line continuations were added for Visual Basic in Visual Studio 2010, but the developer can still target the earlier frameworks. Although Visual Studio 2010 is listed as the dev tool for .NET 4.0, implicit line continuation is a feature of the IDE (Visual Studio 2010 itself, not the framework targeted by the application). So to say .NET Framework 4.0 adds support for line continuations is not accurate. Visual Studio 2010 adds that feature, but the source can be compiled against any of the frameworks and still work fine. 71.236.207.101 (talk) 00:09, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

ISO dates

Please revise the tables and references to use the more logical ISO 8601 dates (e.g., 2013-03-06), which the MoS specifically allows, especially since this article is oriented toward a technical audience. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.69.160.1 (talk) 15:21, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

Not done: Hello. The table is already using ISO 8601 dates. The citation style, however, may not change. According to the Manual of Style (WP:DATESRET) date style should not change once it is established unless there is a reason based on strong national ties. Currently, the citations chiefly use dmy as their date style. It should not change.

The technical nature of this article does not change that rule. In fact, as I have experienced, the date style is just a matter of personal preference and nothing more.

Best regards,

Windows 8 .NET (missing version)

From List of features removed in Windows_8: ".NET Framework 3.5 is no longer included by default. Installing it requires an Internet connection, although Microsoft has published a workaround that enables users to install it from Windows installation disc." (and 1.1 no longer supported). This implies it matters. That is, 4+ is not (fully) compatible(?). I vaguely remember seeing before that programs need a specific version. Is that usually not the case. If it is then it should be in the article and maybe also here that versions are no longer supported or shipped with? Maybe such info should be in List_of_.NET_Framework_versions or the main .NET article. comp.arch (talk) 12:42, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

Add product version

It would be helpful to add the Product Version to the table, similar to the last column ("Version") of the table shown here:
