Has anyone deployed a web site using the 3.5 framework and the Microsoft charting control?
I know this is built into .NET 4.0, but our client isn't ready to move up to the .NET 4.0 yet.
Specifically, do you need to run the chart install on the server to deploy the control, or is there a way to do this in the deployment (such as dropping the System.Web.DataVisualization [sp?] dll into the BIN directory and updating Web.config?
Thanks,
Tim
EDIT:
I want to add we're using VS 2010 as our IDE...has anyone used the chart control while targeting the 3.5 .NET framework?
I have not used the controls myself so I don't now what major differences there are between versions, if any, but you can try using the .NET 3.5 version of the charting controls.
Edit: You should be able to add the .NET 3.5 control to the VS 2010 Toolbox manually, if it isn't added automatically using the instructions on MSDN.

There there is various information around, for example from Microsoft about the new features of ASP.NET 4.5.
http://www.asp.net/aspnet/overview/aspnet-and-visual-studio-2012/whats-new
However, they do not talk about .NET versions, only of ASP.NET Versions.
Is .NET 4.5 required (on the server) for ASP.NET 4.5? (or is 4.0 sufficient?)
Yes, you must install .NET 4.5 on the server if you want to run ASP.NET 4.5 applications. ASP.NET and .NET come bundled - you cannot have one without the other.
Some of features needs it.But you dont have to install if you are an end user

I have created a website using Visual Studio 2012. It is working just fine. The problem is I have to deploy it on a server that has .Net Framework 2.0 only. So I created another website using Visual Studio 2012 and set its version to 2.0. After copying the code of just a single page I tried to run it. But I am getting the errors "Unknown server tag asp:ScriptManager" and "Unknown server tag asp:UpdatePanel". I need them both as I have to use PageMethods in my page. How can I create a .Net Framework 2.0 website with ScriptManager and UpdatePanel without any error? Thanks in advance.
You didn't have to recreate your project. Go to the project settings, application, then change the "Target Framework".
To clearly answer your question, the answer is : you can't.
As Jamie Keeling suggested, Script Manager and Update Panel came with .Net Framework version 3.5.
You will have to find other components or some kind of workaround.
You might have to install ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Extensions 1.0 if you are planning to use scriptmanager and update panel in .NET 2.0. Prior to .NET 3.5, Ajax was available as a separate library.
I'm a little confused about one thing with version levels of various .NET software components related to ASP.NET MVC and the web api. Now I know VS2012 and .NET f/w 4.5 are going RTM "real soon now", but I don't want to make that up-transition for awhile (as in 6 months or longer). I am coding a new app right now whose initial incarnation (dictated by consulting client) has to be .NET f/w 4.0 and utilizing VS2010 (yes I know you can target downwards with VS2012 but that is not an option for me in this case - as a consultant you are sometimes dictated the tools/versions etc that you MUST use for a contract). So finally to the crux of my question - I just came across an article on MSDN by Mike Wasson, written in Jan/Feb 2012 timeframe, and it looks as if he used VS2010 and .NET f/w 4.0, but demonstrating the new-ish Web API technology utilizing ASP.NET MVC 4. So it IS possible to install the ASP.NET MVC 4 component within the context of .NET f/w 4.0 and VS2010, AND utilize the Web API component? Which, if that is true, I might want to do with this particular project rather than just using ASP.NET MVC 3 (and without using the Web API stuff at all), which is what i thought I would need to do. It's just that I thought to use ASP.NET MVC 4 and/or the Web API stuff, one HAD to use .NET f/w 4.5 RC and VS2012 RC prior to Sep 12 (or their RTMs after Sep 12). Is that not correct?
You can use mvc 4 and web api with .net 4.0. You cannot use features of .net 4.5 in it but all other will work.
So it IS possible to install the ASP.NET MVC 4 component within the
context of .NET f/w 4.0 and VS2010
Of course. It's RC at the time of this writing but you could download and install it from here: http://www.asp.net/mvc/mvc4 (Download the standalone installer executable for VS2010 from here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29935)
Even when it hits RTM you will be able to use it with VS2010. Of course you won't be able to use .NET 4.5 speicic features with VS2010 though (things like async/await).
I've made a web app in VS 2010 and by default, I think it uses the .NET Framework 4.0. Problem is, the server that's going to run it doesn't have 4.0.
Is there a way to downgrade the project? I'm not really knowledgeable with web hosting or web servers so I don't really know which is easier, downgrading the project or upgrading the web server. It's a company web server by the way, so I'm not sure about the legalities and stuff. It's free though, right?
Just right-click on the project in the Solution Explorer and go to properties. Under the "Application" tab, change the "Target Framework" from 4.0 to 3.5. That should do it provided you are not using any code features unique to 4.0.
If you can update the server easily, I would recommend that so that you have the 4.0 framework available to you going forward. The .NET framework is a free download.
Right-click on the project name and select Properties On the Application tab, you should see a Target framework: dropdown.
I have one ASP.NET web application projrct, created in Visual Studio 2008, .NET 3.5 Framework, IIS 6.1 and I'm using Ajax updatepanel, cache options for caching the datatable in a gridview. This project is working good in local, but when I deployed in a cert environment (.NET Framework 2.0 and IIS 6.0) I faced that caching issue.
So that, now I'm trying to change the project from 3.5 to 2.0 framework. But I'm facing an Ajax update panel error.
How can this problem be fixed?
You mean the target framework? You can right click the application name and then click on Property Pages, in that go to Build and then choose the target framework to 2.0.
Also, have a look at this:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb398791(VS.90).aspx
reference : http://forums.asp.net/t/1194067.aspx
It will not be very straight forward though. As there may be some language features that are only available in 3.5.
The ASP.NEt AJAX framework for ASP.NET 2.0 has a separate DLL you have to install manually from this link: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=ca9d90fa-e8c9-42e3-aa19-08e2c027f5d6&displaylang=en
You'll have to use an older version of the AJAX control toolkit too; the latest is only supported on 3.5 and 4.0.
HTH.
