Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 2

What is Microsoft .NET Framework Service Pack 2?

Service Pack 2 for the he .NET Framework is a software framework that includes a large library and provides language interoperability across several programming languages. Programs written for the .NET Framework execute in a software environment, known as the Common Language Runtime, an application virtual machine that provides services such as security, memory management, and exception handling. The class library and the CLR together constitute the .NET Framework. .NET Framework 2.0 was released with Visual Studio 2005, Microsoft SQL Server 2005, and BizTalk 2006. The 2.0 Redistributable Package can be downloaded for free from Microsoft. Version 2.0 without any Service Pack is the last version with support for Windows 98 and Windows Me. Version 2.0 with Service Pack 2 is the last version with official support for Windows 2000 although there have been some unofficial workarounds published online to use a subset of the functionality from Version 3.5 in Windows 2000. A new hosting API for native applications wishing to host an instance of the .NET runtime. The new API gives a fine grain control on the behavior of the runtime with regards to multithreading, memory allocation, assembly loading and more.
