Speaking of In-Process Side-by-Side (Inproc SxS), CLR Team Blog - In-Process Side by Side (Part1)

“One of the new features in CLR 4 is In-Process Side-by-side (Inproc SxS) – a feature that lets you use multiple versions of .NET in the same process. For applications that use add-ins (particularly COM add-ins), in-proc SxS lets us provide a level of compatibility never before possible. If you write applications that use an add-in model (for Office or other hosts), you’ll want to understand the details of in-proc SxS, so that you can make use of the new hosting APIs that provide this compatibility. If you are thinking about using .NET 4, but worried about the impact of installing .NET 4 on end user machines, then you’ll want at least a high level understanding of in-proc SxS – it’s the feature that makes installing a new version of .NET less impactful than ever before. Finally, even if none of the above apply to you, you still might find this interesting – it’s probably the most complex change to the CLR in .NET 4.

This is a multi-part series dedicated to in-proc side-by-side, how it works, and all it’s nitty-gritty details.

It’s been a long time since we got a new CLR, and given the depth of features CLR4 will have, it’s not too early to start getting up to speed on it…
