Hi all,
Since the pre-release days of VS2005 and the .NET Framework 2.0, I've been posting bugs up on connect about various issues, e.g., ToolTip control and other Windows Forms widgets.
We're coming up on two years now, has the core version of the .NET Framework changed On my XP machine, version string is 2.0.50727.42, which is RTM I believe for the .NET Framework 2.0. I do notice a different version string when running .NET 2.0 apps in Vista.
1. Will we have to upgrade to the ".NET Framework 3.0" to get the fixes in the CLR and BCL
2. In what version will changes in the CLR and BCL appear
3. Any thoughts on when these bugfixes will appear in terms of a public .NET Framework release
Thanks,
--Mike
In what public version of the .NET Framework will fixes to the BCLs appear?

For the most part the core of the BLC and CLR in the 3.0 framework are identical to that in the 2.0 and you can really think of 3.0 as more of an upgrade that added a good number of new classes to 2.0 than a full upgrade the way 2.0 was over 1.1.
That being said... chances are your fixes are not in 3.0 and given that there’s been no official public word on when we might be seeing a service pack for the 2.0 Framework... if ever, they may be delayed further.
You said that you reported those bugs on Connect... were there any notes attached that might give you some indication
