.NET Forum / ASP.NET / General / May 2008.NET 3.5 install questions
On our server we have .NET 1.0, 1.1 and 2.0 ASP.NET websites. I am creating a .NET 3.5 website. If my network guy installs the 3.5 FW, will the older apps still run ok? Is 3.5 fully backwards compatible with 1.0, 1.1 and 2.0 ASP.NET web apps? Thanks! The main point of contention is extra stuff added on top. If you are using AJAX, for example, you might have some problems until you ujpdate your web.config. The 2.0 bits will be pointed to a version 1.06.### (forget the entire number), while the 3.5 bits point to 3.5.0.0 version. If you change version in the web.config, you should be fine. That is your biggest danger, from my experience.  SignatureGregory A.

Yes. > Is 3.5 fully backwards compatible with 1.0, 1.1 and 2.0 ASP.NET web apps? That's not quite how it works. Installing .NET 3.5 doesn't overwrite or uninstall the previous versions - they all co-exist quite happily, as you will be able to tell from the folder structure. The older apps won't care about any other version of the framework than the one for which they were compiled... SignatureMark Rae ASP.NET MVP http://www.markrae.net Thanks. So .NET 3.5 will install side by side with older frameworks installed on the server? >> If my network guy installs the 3.5 FW, will the older apps still run ok? > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > The older apps won't care about any other version of the framework than > the one for which they were compiled... re: !> .NET 3.5 will install side by side with older frameworks installed on the server?
