Dear DotNetNuke Developers --

Please help, regarding a question about DotNet version, (.NET version).

What version of DotNet does DotNetNuke 8.0.3 run under? 4.0? 4.5? Other?

Please advise.


Yes, I checked, > Host, > Dashboard, > Web Server, and it said...

.NET Framework Version:

4.0.30319.42000

...but...

Is that .NET Framework Version necessarily so for DotNetNuke 8.0.3?

Is that .NET Framework Version set by DotNetNuke 8.0.3?

Is that .NET Framework Version required by DotNetNuke 8.0.3?

Can that .NET Framework Version be changed manually?

Is that .NET Framework Version driven by DotNetNuke or IIS or the Web.Config or by something else?

Thanks.

Here is some follow-up.

BTW and FYI and for reference, note that I did some testing on the DLLs in the DotNetNuke bin folder, and while the site was reporting DotNet Version 4.0 in the Host area, my checking shows some warning from Visual Studio, which suggests that some of the DLLs in the DotNetNuke bin target a DotNet version that is higher than DotNet Version 4.0 and those Warnings are as follows...

This is some more follow-up, just FYI, as I did some more testing.

The Warnings listed above are present when the Visual Studio Solution is set to used DotNet Framework version 4.0 there.

Now, to experiment with things, I tried changing the DotNet Framework version and running some tests, and I still got Warnings but far fewer, and my test results are as follows.

With 4.5 we have the following...

Severity Code Description Project File Line
Warning Some NuGet packages were installed using a target framework different from the current target framework and may need to be reinstalled. Visit http://docs.nuget.org/docs/workflows/reinstalling-packages for more

information. Packages affected: Microsoft.AspNet.WebPages Scripts 0

With 4.5.1 we have the following...

Severity Code Description Project File Line
Warning Some NuGet packages were installed using a target framework different from the current target framework and may need to be reinstalled. Visit http://docs.nuget.org/docs/workflows/reinstalling-packages for more

information. Packages affected: Microsoft.AspNet.WebPages Scripts 0

With 4.5.2 we have the following...

Severity Code Description Project File Line
Warning Some NuGet packages were installed using a target framework different from the current target framework and may need to be reinstalled. Visit http://docs.nuget.org/docs/workflows/reinstalling-packages for more

information. Packages affected: Microsoft.AspNet.WebPages Scripts 0

With 4.6 we have the following...

Severity Code Description Project File Line
Warning Some NuGet packages were installed using a target framework different from the current target framework and may need to be reinstalled. Visit http://docs.nuget.org/docs/workflows/reinstalling-packages for more information. Packages affected: Microsoft.AspNet.WebPages Scripts 0

With 4.6.1 we have the following...

Severity Code Description Project File Line
Warning Some NuGet packages were installed using a target framework different from the current target framework and may need to be reinstalled. Visit http://docs.nuget.org/docs/workflows/reinstalling-packages for more information. Packages affected: Microsoft.AspNet.WebPages Scripts 0

If you have any insight into all of this, please post here.

HTH.

Thanks.

FYI, I found a good solution that works for me.

Here it is.

Note, throughout my site, everywhere in config files, I set it so it should always be set as (targetFramework="4.6.1") and in Visual Studio > Property Pages, > Build, I also should have "4.6.1" there too.

That works for me.

HTH.

Thanks.
