There are only 3 current versions of the CLR (excluding 4 which is in beta): 1.0, 1.1, and 2.0. There are 5 versions of the .NET platform - 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 3.0, 3.5. The fact that the CLR versions were decoupled from the .NET library versions is what's confusing. .NET 3.0 and 3.5 use the 2.0 version of the CLR, which is why there isn't an additional version in ASP.NET (the version numbers in ASP.NET refer to the CLR version, not the library version). 3.0/3.5 were more like "plus packs" that added additional libraries and some compiler magic but were built on the same CLR.Yep, weird and confusing. I kind of understand it, but still don't like it.
