Small but interesting thing about .NET Framework 2.0

We always talk about the .NET Framework 2.0 the pros and cons, the scope, patterns, best practice and some of the basic class lib. But are we aware about how many types .NET Framework 2.0 have? And like this only some other basic information? I am sure we are not. So here are the small information I want to share with you.

Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 includes 51 assemblies.
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 is having 18,619 Types.
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 is having 12,909 Classes.
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 is having 4,01,758 public methods.
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 is having 93,105 public properties.
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 is having 30,546 public events.

How many of events do we know or used?
How many of types we have used in our n-tire career .NET Dev. Career?
How many methods we used so far?
No question about public events.

A research says if a person dedicatedly work on .NET 2.0 to use all of the above, he/she might take more then 1 man years to complete this task. And .NET 4 is about to release in next Jan [this is my assumption, nothing declare till now about .net 4.0] or so. So guys start exploring this version more and more.
