It gets more mysterious for me.  I copied my source files from my web host to my local computer (Windows 7 Ultimate).  I then set up the web site to run locally (i.e. http://localhost) attaching to the same SQL 2005 database at my web host (isqsolutions.com).  Running locally under IIS 7.5, Classic .NET AppPool, .Net 3.5, the local version of the web site runs perfect (i.e. no problem with the host settings).  My web host is running Windows Server 2003 and IIS 6.  Is it that I need to be running under .NET 3.5?  If so why when I click on the Dashboard do I see ".NET Framework Version: 2.0.50727.4927".  That seems to contradict what I see under the Host Settings where I see ".NET Framework 3.5" for my local installation.  The Dashboard and Host Settings seem to be giving contradictory information about the .NET Framework version.

Sebastian,

Thanks for the pointer to the other discussion.  However, it seems to contradict some information that I found on the Microsoft web site.  Please have a look at:

I've got an enquiry to my web hosting service to see what version of the .NET framework my site is using.  If it is less than .NET 3.5 SP1, then maybe I've got a solution to my problem.  If not, I'm still lost.
