Able to run WCF project in VS 2008 without Framework 3.5.
Hi,
Just wondering how am I able to run a project in VS 2008 which utilizes WCF and that too without having Framework 3.5, (I check in IIS ASP.NET tab, have only 1.0 and 2.0 version). But, project is running good.

You're mixing up the framework and the runtime. While there exists a 3.5 framework, the underlying runtime is still .NET 2. So, in IIS you see version 1 and 2, while your project may very well be using .NET 3.5 specific assemblies.
Cheers,

Thank you for the reply, but it has created few more qustions:
1. so did it mean that if I have installed Framework 2.0, the installation of VS 2008 will just put 3.5 assemblies?
2. where can I see the 3.5 assemblies in Windows Explorer?
3. Framework 3.5 will never be seen in IIS as it uses runtime of Fmwlk 2.0. is it true?

1. More or less. You don't need VS 2008; you could just install the .NET 3.5 framework. It adds assemblies, but doesn't change the run-time.

2. In your Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework folder
3. More or less. You can't configure IIS to use framework 3.5. You configure it to use the runtime 2.0. Your application can then use the framework 3.5, running against the 2.0 runtime.

..Great, thank you again. so, I guess, the framework 4.0 has different runtime, if we install framework 4, it will show in IIS, right?
