when im putting my site on the shared hosting provider server, I get targetFramework="4.0" is not recognized and when I remove it I get another error which says <scriptManager> not recognized, please help!!!

Hi there,

Sounds like the Application Pool used by your web site is running with ASP.NET 2, not AP.NET 4. See step 3 on page 715.

You may have to ask your host to make this change, or they may offer an on-line control panel where you can do it yourself.

Cheers,

Imar

but even when I changed the targetFramework to 2.0 in the web.config it still did not work!

You cannot simply change the target framework from 4 to 2 as there will be a lot of code depending on the 4.0 version of the framework in your site and web.config.

If you believe you're not using any .NET functionality, you could try changing the framework version of the site using its Property Pages in Visual Studio and then resolve any compilation and other errors. This is certainly not going to work for the Planet Wrox website though.

Cheers,

Imar
