Hi Bren, I'm a C++/C# developer. So with the latter I use the .NET framework of course. I do not, however, have any experience using ASP.NET (albeit did briefly have to do something in it, and honestly I hated it!!!). How are you having problems with the .NET Framework though? All you should need to do to get going is install the relevant version and off you go. So say for Visual Studio 2008 you could target the 2.0, 3.0 or 3.5 frameworks, as long as you have them installed. Sure post up your issue and I'll see if I can help. If it's directly ASP related I'm of no use to you though!
I all sorted now. I foolishly installed .net 2.0 SP2 and 3.0 Sp2 from a Microsoft update on my exchange server. I have an app that uses .net 1.1 but the updates killed the app. I knew to remove both updates but I didnt know what effect .net could have on the O/S post reboot and was looking for advice on that. I removed both versions and rebooted the server lastnight, all is ok now .... thankfully. Lesson is ... dont install .net update when you have a web site that relies on another version!
Ah yes, never thought of that. I've had similar problems, have designed apps in 1.1 using VS 2003 and then upgraded to VS 2008 and so had to make sure I kept the 1.1 framework as well as the new ones (2.0, 3.0 and 3.5). They can all co-exist happily though. Good to see you're sorted. Happy coding
Yes - they can live happily together. You can select the framework version you want to use under the asp.net tab on the virtual folder properties in IIS Admin.
