# Framework Compatibility Graphics initiative

By Roy Osherove July 28, 2003 In [Off Topic](https://osherove.com/blog/category/off-topic)

**Historical article** · Originally published July 28, 2003; technical details may be outdated.

Looks like Robert is on the right track with his [Framework Compatibility Graphics initiative](http://weblogs.asp.net/rmclaws/posts/10613.aspx) . I think we'll all need this in the near future. I know I'd love to go to a download site and see, by the download link, an icon telling me what framework version this application works with.

Great idea!
