Client-only Framework Subset: finally!

The great news for who is mainly a windows client developer (like the author of this blog ;) ) is that with the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 (actually in Beta 1 stage) will be released the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 Client Profile, a subset of the .NET 3.5 library only for the client applications.

The new light "client .NET package" (about 26 Mb) will include these components:

  • CLR
  • WinForms
  • ClickOnce
  • WPF e WCF

and it will have a direct support inside Visual Studio 2008:

This helps to have a light installer when you deploy your applications.

Hi,

Do you know how I can build such an installer? I checked the check box but where is the installer?

You build the MSI package as previously, but your installer will reference only a subset of the entire .NET Framework.
Check here for more details:
