C# feature evolution and mapping between c#, Dotnet, VS and CLR version

Today I am putting version basic but important information about C#, CLR, VS IDE, .net Versions and their mapping.

C# features chart

Please note that there was no c# 3.5. c# version 3.0 was introduced with .net framework 3.5 and  before .net framework 3.5, the only version of c# was c# 2.0. This chart does not cover Visual Studio updates.

In next several session I`ll go through all of these features and cover in details. If you have any suggestion please post them in comment section.
