Is ASP.NET 3.5 available, and why does my script say that there is only Version 2?


ASP.NET 3.5 is available on your Windows hosting account.

ASP.NET version 3.5 is an extension of ASP.NET version 2.0, and there are no incompatibilities between the two versions of the language. Version 3.5 reports to scripts as version 2.0 to ensure that older scripts will know it is compatible with its version of the language.

We also have ASP.NET version 4.0 available, but it was a major overhaul of the underlying functionality, and is not compatible with ASP.NET version 2.0.

To set your site to use ASP.NET version 4.0:

  1. Log into your eXtend Control Panel
  2. Click ‘Manage IIS Application Pools’
  3. Select 4.0 from the drop-down under Application Pool Managed Runtime Version
  4. Click ‘Update Now’
  5. You can now only run ASP.NET 4.0 scripts
