Do any of you know 4.3 support 2.0 .net framework in add-in ?

I planning to create some custom add-in task in EG but finding the older version of EG only compatible with framework 1.1...

With EG 4.2 and 4.3, you can use .NET 2.0 and even .NET 3.5 (with WPF).

Here are some references.

Basic custom task guidance and API reference doc (for EG 4.2):

Templates that work with EG 4.2 and VS2008 and VS2010:

No, no additional SAS licenses needed to develop custom tasks/add-ins.

However, you do need a Microsoft Visual Studio program. You can download the Express versions for free from Microsoft, but if you get serious about developing custom tasks, the Professional version is worth the investment.
