When .NET upgraded from 2.0 to 3.0 (and again to 3.5), 3.0 and 3.5
weren't really totally new versions of .NET. They required 2.0 to be
there and were more of an extension or and add-on to 2.0.

What about .NET 4.0? Is it a complete framework all on its own? Or
does it require 2.0 (and/or 3.x)?

TIA

Thanks for responding, but I have the options in different orders in
both paragraphs, so I'm not sure which you're calling "the former".
Is 4.0 an add-on or a replacement?

Sorry for the confusion.

4.0 is a complete new framework.
