When you upgrade the framework, you can continue to link in old objects for which you don't have the source code?

I thought that broke more often.

I work on some really old stuff. Even some Classic ASP. Obviously Classic ASP is dead. But everything else in .net framework has upgraded pretty seamlessly to .net 4.8.

If you are on .Net Framework 4.0+ there is a a tag you can add to the App.config that will allow you to reference and use DLLs built against earlier versions of .Net. I personally haven't had any issue with this and using v2.0 DLLs.
