Finding out the asp.net version for code? - asp.net

Generally, how do you figure out which version of asp.net that an app is written in? The app in question is VP-ASP 6.5.

I'd just submit a request and ask.
Reading through the setup guide it looks like it is written in classic ASP and not ASP.NET

Yes, that's correct VP-ASP 6.5 is written in ASP. In fact all version (through the current 7.0) are in ASP. The publishers have stated that the next version will be in ASP.NET

using nlog in asp-classic

We have a solution with a .net core and we use a classic asp front site.
Our .net libraries use nlog, and I have to implement this feature on the front as well.
I searched the web and found one example from an old nlog version (back in 2007) usable as an activex. I try with nlog v4, but it doesn't seem to work.
I saw on the nlog site that "the classic ASP (so non-ASP.Net) are still in the NLog package (4.0)". What does it mean ? I didn't find any code sample or documentation on this feature.
Can you provide a simple example on how to use nlog in a classic asp page ?
According to this change log and this post, starting from version 3.0 COM Interop which provides you to use the library in Classic ASP support removed from NLog.
You can use v2.1.0 the latest COM Interop supported NLog release by registering the assembly on your web server.
This seems to be the easiest way to accomplish NLog in Classic ASP but with the lacks of number of new features that you may require of course.

Is it possible to compile/customize the .net framework/asp net from source code

I recently discovered that Microsoft makes the .net frameworks source code open for the public and asp net stuff too.
Just wondering is it possible to compile/customize this and use it as a replacement for the official version?
What about compiling the .net for lets say mono/linux?
What about using the asp net source to compile it with mono?
Yes ASP.NET webstack is open sourced and it can be customized as you want. Note, ASP.NET WebForms is not opensourced only WebAPI, MVC, SignalR and WebPages is open sourced. Also IIS is closed source the last I checked it.
.NET library is but just a bunch of codes and as with any code, it can be customized as necessary.
As with Mono, I am not very fond of the distant cousin of the original .NET. It feels clunky at best at the moment and keeps changing everyday. Its best to stick with Windows for .NET for now.

Asp to Aspx .net 4.0

can anyone tell me how to convert ASP project to asp.net web application.
I tried this url but was not able to convert it.

I am trying to convert asp application to .net 4.0 web application.
thanks in advance.
There is a tool provided by Microsoft to do such thing.
Anywyay, you might not be fully .Net 4.0 compatible at the end, you certainly will have to correct some issues manually.

unfortunately, in my experience, there is no easy way to migrate from 1 to the other, its a case of buying visual studio and creating a asp.net 4.0 solution in this context. then creating the functionality in the project
im sure this is NOT what you wanted to hear :(

What is the difference between asp and asp.net?

I am developing web application using asp.net, but i want to work on asp i have to install asp or can we write the code using asp.net, what is the main difference between these two asp,asp.net. Thank you
ASP is the legacy version of active server pages that was created before the .NET framework. It works on IIS and is written in VBScript or Javascript.
ASP.NET is the newer version built on top of the .NET framework and is written in VB.NET or C#
IMO, you should spend your time learning and using ASP.NET as classic ASP is rather ancient in terms of web technologies and will likely not be supported for much longer (merely guessing there..)
You may also want to consider looking at ASP.NET MVC as a possible solution as well.
You should be able to use classic ASP in a .NET environment running IIS. If that is what you're asking.

ASP.NET bug where to find?

Is there a place on Microsoft Connect where i can see ASp.NET 4 and ASP.NET MVC bugs? I would also like to know where to file bugs for ASP.NET?
ASP.NET Forums
OR here...
Visual Studio Feedback
In this blog post by Scott Guthrie(1) he says to log bugs for ASP.NET 4 and VS2010 here(2) on the Microsoft Connect site.
There is also an issue tracker on codeplex for ASP.NET, this includes ASP.NET MVC(3)
(1) weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2010/02/08/vs-2010-net-4-release-candidate.aspx
(2) http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio?wa=wsignin1.0 ( I think this is the one you are looking for? )
(3) aspnet.codeplex.com/workitem/list/basic
I can only post one hyperlink :(
