.NET Framework Client Profile

.NET Framework Client Profile 是完整版 .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 的子集，面向客户端应用程序。

它提供 Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF)、Windows 窗体、Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) 和 ClickOnce 功能的简化子集。这可以为面向 .NET Framework Client Profile 的 WPF、Windows 窗体、WCF 和控制台应用程序实现快速部署方案。

注意事项

如需以最快的速度部署 WPF 或 Windows 窗体客户端应用程序，请选择 .NET Framework Client Profile。.NET Framework Client Profile 应用程序有一个再分发软件包，该软件包可在目标计算机上安装最小的一组客户端程序集，而无须安装完整的 .NET Framework。

就.net 4.0来说,如果项目引用的assemblies都包含在 Assemblies in the .NET Framework Client Profile. 就可以设置target .net framework 为.net client profile.

.net client profile assembles 可在如下目录找到.

%systemdrive%\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETFramework\v4.0\Profile\Client

%systemdrive%\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETFramework\v3.5\Profile\Client

所包含的Assemblies清单可在如下:

%systemdrive%\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETFramework\v4.0\Profile\Client\RedistList\FrameworkList.xml (54 assemblies, 20M左右)

%systemdrive%\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETFramework\v3.5\Profile\Client\RedistList\FrameworkList.xml(80 assemblies, 25M左右)

事实上在这两个目录下都多了一个System.EnterpriseServices.Wrapper.dll, 但不知为什么.
