Will there be any releases of the WinForms components compiled against CLR 4?If not in the plans yet, could it please be added to?
I think this is not the same as it was with 3.5 over 2 discussion, where a customer would have .NET 2 installed as a prerequisite of 3.5 anyway.
Thanks,

As it stands there is no reason that one cannot use the CLR2 compiled assemblies in a CLR4 targeted application. This does not require the presence of CLR2. Creating a set of assemblies just to say they are compiled against CLR4 would only increase the download size for no benefit. Could you tell me what benefit you see for compiling against CLR4?
Note the reason there weren't CLR3.5 specific assemblies is because 3.0 and 3.5 were simply additions to the core CLR and therefore a version that was compiled against those versions wasn't required.
"This does not require the presence of CLR2."
This seems to conflict with the installation notes of NetAdvantage WinForms 2010.2:
INSTALLATION NOTES
1. All included assemblies have been built against Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0. You must have this version of the framework installed for the product to work.
Well, I'd assume that assemblies compiled against CLR 4 would make use of newer features, such as LINQ and PLINQ for instance. I also think that it is best practice to try and keep assemblies compiled against same CLR, even if CLR 4 allows side-by-side and even running CLR2s with manifests.
Thanks for the prompt reply thou.
