Hi Imar,

I uploaded my files to web/host using FTP but I am getting below error message

Configuration Error
Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately.

Parser Error Message: Unrecognized attribute 'targetFramework'. Note that attribute names are case-sensitive.
Source Error:

Though it is working fine when I tried from my localhost using IIS.Also in IIS .Net Framework version registered is 4.0.30319.

Let me know If I am missing something.

Hi there,

Your remote site is still running under the .NET 2.0 runtime. You need to configure IIS / the Application Pool to run under .NET 4 instead (or ask your host to do that for you).

Cheers,

Hi Imar,

Thanks for the quick response. I ask the administrator to upgrade the remote site to .net Framework 4.0.
So which mode should I ask him to upgrade it, classic or integrated mode?
Note - IIS used is IIS5.1.

Thanks
Sonal

IIS 5.1 doesn't have Classic / Integrated mode so just setting it to .NET 4 should do the trick....

I asked the administrator to upgrade it and they upgraded it 4.0 classic but I am still getting the error as

Line 12: <compilation debug="false" targetFramework="4.0" />

I am not getting what is wrong now.
why .net is so sensitive :(

It's not sensitive; it's trying to be helpful ;-)

The targetAttribute was introduced in .NET 4 and doesn't make sense in .NET 2. So, .NET 2.0 does the right thing and throws an error saying it doesn't recognize this attribute, rather than silently continuing using .NET 2 where you would expect it to run under .NET 4.

Juding from the error message, I'd say the site still runs under .NET 2. They may have installed .NET 4, but they also need to configure your site / application pool to run under .NET 4.

Cheers,

Imar
