For .net 3.5 SP1, Microsoft have the new client profile which installs only a subset of .net 3.5 SP1 on to Windows XP user's machines. I'm aware of how to make my assemblies client-profile ready.

I'm building a WinForms application where I'll need it to work "locally" (just like Microsoft Word, saving and opening files from the file system) and also in a multi-user environment (communicating with a server in the network, via TCP/IP). In terms of architecture I'm thinking of these logical layers: Presentation (windows forms) Se...

I've seen numbers about the full install size of the framework, but my Google-fu has failed me when it comes to how large the upgrade download will be. For instance, for a user who has 2.0 installed, how much will they have to download to upgrade to 4.0CP? ...
On our current WPF project, we've been performing dependency injection using the Ninject IOC tool. We want to target the .NET Framework Client Profile for a better download/install experience.
