Running different code depending on what Net Framework version is installed

Question

Is it possible to run a LINQ method using normal LINQ if the Net Framework 3.5 is installed, but using PLINQ instead if 4.0 or higher is installed ?

Answer 1

I don't think that's possible. Here are some alternatives:

• If it is at all an option it would be much simpler to require your users to upgrade to .NET 4.0.
• If you can't require your users to upgrade you can spend a little more time improving the .NET 3.5 code so that you don't need to make a special .NET 4.0 version.
• Or you can make two different builds of your project using #if directives.
