What do you like best about .NET 4.5?

For years I had to maintain and develop solutions built in .NET 3.5. So when I was able to switch to .NET 4 and .NET 4.5 I did it for almost every project. Now I still use .NET 4.5 in legacy projects, but as it is end of its life for many years Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about .NET 4.5?

The worst part is that it is end of life from 2016. Now the preferred framework is .NET 8 or at least .NET Framework 4.8 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is .NET 4.5 solving and how is that benefiting you?

It all depends on the client's requirements. The biggest problem I was able to solve with .NET 4.5 was multi-system authentication. I had to build an application (proxy) that transferred files between multiple systems. Each system had a custom security policy, one based on Linux, one on Active Directory. Each user had rea/write or only read or only write permissions. The entire solution was based on streams so it was very efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
