Webhost claims ASP.NET MVC support, but runs .NET 2.0.50727.4200?

Is a server which returns 2.0.50727.4200 for System.Environment.Version going to support ASP.NET 3.5?

The webhost claims I should ignore the details in the control panel but I get 2.0.50727.4200 when checking the aforementioned system开发者_开发问答 variable.

This article should make things clearer: http://www.west-wind.com/Weblog/posts/289139.aspx

In short, just because it says it's version 2.0, doesn't mean it isn't actually running 3.5. v3.0 and v3.5 are essentially updates to v2.0

The CLR for 3.5 is still 2.0, so no, you're not being screwed, it will be fine.

.NET 4.0 will have a 4.0 CLR, so when you're promised .NET 4.0, you can look for a number higher than 2.0.

The runtime for ASP.NET 3.5 is still 2.0

It will be upgraded to 4.0 when .NET 4 is released.

Don't ask my why that is, but ASP.NET MVC will work.

asp.net is version 2.... the MVC stuff in 3.+ just extends the base of v2....so that is an expected result. as the core of asp.net is still at 2.*... you will be able to run mvc
