Is it same old .NET Framework 2.0 underneath 3.0 framework?

Does .NET 3.0 Framework contained any fixes to .NET 2.0 Framework, or if it
is same old 2.0 Framework just with WCF, WPF, and WF on top of it?

I have a colleague who thinks they updated the 2.0 framework when they
packaged WCF, WPF, and WF with it. I'm npot so sure.

Thanks,
Ron

You can compare dll versions in GAC to confirm which components were updated
if at all

..NET 3.0 requires and sits on top of .NET 2.0. It's the "same old" framework
with new namespaces and classes built on top of it. If you remove .NET 2.0
from your machine, .NET 3.0 will cease to function.

So was 2.0 enhanced at time of rolling 3.0, or is it the same 2.0 that
originally shipped?

Thanks

I believe it's the same. There are some enhancements and bug fixes in
3.5, I believe - some in the CLR itself and some in the framework
libraries.

My DLL's are still dated 2005 for what that is worth.
