C# documentation of all versions?

Question

Hey guys, can somebody please tell where to go to download all the c# version's documentation. I mean the documentation of version 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 3.5 and finally 4.0. Documentation strictly refers to the one created by microsoft experts.

Thank you

Answer 1

Hello,

here you have it:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/default.aspx

Expand the ".Net Development"
and there you find:

.Net Framework 4 Beta 2
.Net Framework 3.5
.Net Framework 3.0
.Net Framework 2.0
.Net Framework 1.0

Each category has their own documentation.

I hope this helps...

Have a nice day...

Best regards,
Fisnik

Unless you mean C# versions, not .NET versions:

C# v1.2

Answer 3

so Tergiver you mean there are only 5 generations yet? 

Answer 4

Well I suppose someone is working on C# v5.0, but since v4.0 isn't official yet, you might say there are only four generations.

Answer 5

And what do you mean by that someone?

Also didn't get "official yet"...?

Answer 6

The principle author of C# is Anders Hejlsberg.

C# v4.0 has not been ratified (is that the correct word?) by ECMA. They are the standards bodies responsible for standardization of the C# language.
