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.
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.
.NET 4.5 introduced several improvements and features, such as asynchronous programming with the `async` and `await` keywords, enhancements in ASP.NET, and improvements in the Entity Framework. These additions aimed to make development more efficient and improve performance. Keep in mind that newer versions of .NET may have been released since then, so it's advisable to check the latest documentation for the most up-to-date information.

.NET 4.5 is a robust framework, but some developers found the learning curve for asynchronous programming challenging. Additionally, the initial lack of support for some modern language features led to certain limitations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
My favourite additions are the ones related to Responsive UI and web app scalability features as a part of this one. Also, this version makes writing synchronous code way easier. Happy to be a proud .Net Dev 👏👏 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing as such. Would definitely add it here once i find anything that i do not like Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Easy to use and flexible. helps to keeps up to date. one of the best option to develop easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
currently I do not have such experience but it seems .net is not completely open source Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Intellisense has considerably improved with 4.5. The compatibility is wider compared to Framework 4. It's a complete solution including code, UI and scalability. Caching has been upgraded and is more reliable in terms of performance and temporary storage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
OOP entity Framework might be obsolete in near future and may not support the emerging Technologies. The cost of the Framework is increasing. The Framework stability isn't something we can totally rely on Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I liked the introduction of Async/Await that made Asynchronous Programming petty straightforward. The portable libraries and the entity framework improvements are really helpful. Additionally the feature to generate and analyse memory dumps helps me to to diagnose memory related issues easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are many compatibility issues for the existing applications and there are various challenges faced while migrating to new entity framework. The cross platform support is also limited and can be further improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The cross platform design is easy to deploy with various platforms support. It has scaling and dockerization which builds the base for modern micro native applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The Vendor Lock-in feature can be reduced and user should get option to switch back. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
