Previously it was .net 2.0 which is the big change in .net developement. many developers are working mostly on this. Presently microsoft has introduced .net 3.0 and yet its next version .net 4.0. So the next version is going to be major change in .net development.

Workflow foundation WPF WCF Windows cardspace Agile methodalogy implementation. Silverlight features enhancement.

You missed .NET 3.5, which is actually a bigger package than .NET 3.0; .NET 3.0 adds things like WCF/WPF/WF, which are nicer ways to do things that were (generally) already there in the framework.

However, .NET 3.5 adds LINQ, which is huge and broad-reaching. LINQ-to-Objects is the most used, providing a more convenient model for regular code. But LINQ-to-SQL, and EF (in SP1) are ORM tools (with many others available).

.NET 4.0 targets a few problems, in particular threading (TPL/CCR) and dynamic objects (DLR). C# 4.0 has mainly changes to make dynamic objects easier to work with.
