Like it was mentioned, listing all the differences would take a very long reply... But the main thing you might want to keep in mind is that with every new version of .NET, new features get added, and very few features might get depricated, although it is probably safe to assume that a program that works in .NET 1.1 will always carry on to 2.0 & 3.0.

this would take a long lengthy discussion. It also depends what you are asking. If you are asking features, there have been a lot of new features from 1.1 to 2.0 and a lot of new featues going from 2.0 to 3.0. If you are talking about compatibility, that's something else. What specifically do you want to know? I'll answer one aspect:

One difference between 1.1 and 2.0 was that in 2.0 you got C# 2.0: generics (templates), anonymous methods, partial classes, etc. Also you got a host of new controls and improved technology in ASP.NET.

The difference between 2.0 and 3.0:

3.0 has many new features including (WPF, WWF, WCF). These new technologies are heading towards a more declarative approach to programming.

Also 3.0 has LINQ technology which will allow querying on anything from collections to databases.

If you have more specific questions, feel free to ask them.
