This might seem like an odd request, but is there any simple way to downgrade my ASP.NET MVC2 application running on .NET 4 (developed in VS2010) to run on .NET 3.5? I'm asking because the server I will be using to host the application on is within my university and only has.NET 3.5 installed.
Many thanks
The ASP.NET MVC 2 is built against .Net 3.5 so there is no downgrade needed there. The only problem you might have is your own code - if you are using some .Net 4.0 specific stuff you will have to change it. For starters change your projects target framework (in project properties) to 3.5 and check if it still builds.

Hey I tried to install the latest .NET Framework 6.0.1 from the official Microsoft Website and it shows as installed inside the Visual Studio Installer but I am somehow not able to select it. Neither can I upgrade existing Applications to 6.0 nor create Applications with .NET Framework 6.0.
So i tried installing .NET Framework 5.0 instead but it has the excatly same issues.
The highest Version that I can choose is .NET Framework 4.8.
In case it is important I am on Windows 10 - 21H1 - 19044.1415.

Last version of .NET Framework is 4.8. Last version of .NET is .NET 6. They are not the same thing, .NET is a successor of .NET Core.
We currently have a production server running multiple .NET Core 2.1 websites and we need to deploy a website running .NET Core 5.0 on that same server.
I know I need to install dotnet-hosting-5.0.7-win.exe to be able to host the new site. Will installing that version of dotnet-hosting have any negative effects on the 2.1 sites?
I just want to make sure that running both versions is possible. Thank you.
Is it possible to set the .NET Framework version for a ScriptComponentProject?
Currently it defaults to .NET 4, but I want it to be .NET 4.6.1
I've looked on the documentation page for ScriptComponentProject (https://www.varigence.com/Documentation/Samples/Biml/Script+Component+Project), but without any luck.
Ah, I found the answer! You need to set the Target Framework Version in your script project:
https://www.varigence.com/Documentation/Language/Element/AstComponentScriptProjectNode
And I think the available values are these:
Unspecified
Unspecified .NET Framework Version
NetFX20
.NET Framework 2.0
NetFX30
.NET Framework 3.0
NetFX35
.NET Framework 3.5
NetFX40
.NET Framework 4.0
NetFX45
.NET Framework 4.5
NetFX451
.NET Framework 4.5.1
NetFX452
.NET Framework 4.5.2
NetFX46
.NET Framework 4.6
NetFX461
.NET Framework 4.6.1
Which can be found here: https://www.varigence.com/Documentation/Api/Enum/ScriptProjectTargetFrameworkVersion
If you are using BIMLExpress 5.0.6xxx, you have probably faced the same issue.
I opened the generated .dtsx package and found that the TargetFrameworkVersion node placed inside of a separate PropertyGroup node. After I had moved it out to the first PropertyGroup of the same arrayElement node, then reopened my package in Visual Studio again, issue was gone! So you can write a script to move TargetFrameworkVersion node into the proper place for now.
Varigence support team told me that a public preview release is coming late next week which will include a fix for that (+also VS2017 support!).
I wanted to follow up on a post from last year ("EF5 , Widows Forms , Dragging a chield entity from project datasource into a GridView creates only 2 columns").
I believe the problem described with EF5 is still true and the solution found (use EF4) continues to be the only reasonable answer.
Before I upgrade to VS2012, I wanted to check whether anyone knows if there is any problem using EF4 in VS 2012.
Anyone with experience on this?
VS2012 requires .NET Framework 4.5 which is an in-place update. This means that once you install the .NET Framework 4.5 it will be always used when running .NET Framework 4 or .NET Framework 4.5 apps. This also means that you will be running EF5 even if you target .NET Framework 4 in VS (targeting is only a design time thing which prevents from using APIs that were not available in the targeted .NET Framework version while at runtime the app will use the version installed on the box).
With regards to the problem you are reporting - take a look at this bug report on the EF codeplex site as it apparently contains a solution to the problem
I am having a Web Application with build target as .Net Framework 4.0.
I want to interact with the Sharepoint Object Model API's but it gives a framework 4.0 runtime does not supports Sharepoint.dll error.
Is their any tweak such that I can use Sharepoint 2010 with .Net Framework4.0.
Note: I cannnot change the build target of the web app to any other framework as I am using some exclusive features of .net 4.0 in my application.
Sorry you probably will have no luck:
There appears to be some confusion
around whether or not ASP.NET 4 is
supported for both MOSS and SharePoint
2010 - in short, the answer is that it
is not currently supported in either
product.
Whilst it is possible to use ASP.NET
3.5 in MOSS by making some modifications to the SharePoint site
web.config (instructions for doing
that in MOSS here; SP2010 uses 3.5 by
default), this is unfortunately not
the case with version 4.
The reason? ASP.NET 4 uses a new
version of the Common Language Runtime
(CLR). Whilst .NET 2.0, 3.0 and 3.5
all used version 2.0 of the CLR, .NET
4 uses version 4. I'm not entirely
sure what happened to version 3. There
is a decent post on stack overflow
with further details.
from SharePoint 2010 and .NET 4: confused?
Maybe .NET 4.0 Support will be added in a future update (SP1?) who knows...
Unfortunately, .Net 2.0 to 3.5 use a different application pool type from .Net 4.0; Mixing in the same app pool is not going to work.
What features of .Net 4.0 are you using, and perhaps the community can help you with a 3.5 solution?
