Hello everyone,

I've just installed the Install version of DNN 5.6.1, and opened a new project in VS using Dotnetnuke Compiled Module template.

The issue I'm facing is that VS throws errors when i try to add dotnetnuke.dll in references dialog box:
'DotNetNuke.dll', or one of its dependencies, requires a later version of .NET Framework than the one specified in the project. You can change .NET Framework target etc, etc, etc

It should be mentioned that the app pool .NET version I'm running this installation on is 2.0. Current project .NET version is 2.0. When I change to 4.0 all the errors disappear, and the project builds smoothly, but I need it to run on 2.0 also... The Dotnetnuke.dll version is 5.6.1.238

I just can't figure out what the problem is, cause I run the whole dnn app on the .NET v2.0, but VS refuses to add the dotnetnuke.dll to the references in case of compilation target 2.0, and if I agree to add the reference, it doesn't build.

Please advise me some...

Thanks!
 - David

DotNetNuke versions 5.02.00 and later require that the application pool be running under ASP.Net 3.5 SP 1 or ASP.Net 4.0. I suspect that you are missing the installation or proper registration of ASP.Net 3.5 SP 1 which "runs on top of" ASP.Net 2.0. There is no separate selection in IIS for 3.5 - the selection will still be shown as 2.0.

Hi William,

Thanks for the answer. If I got you right the following statements should be correct:
  1. DNN minimum requirement for .NET framework is 3.5 SP1;
  2. App pool running DNN installation having .NET Framework v2.0.50527 actually utilizes 3.5 SP1.
  3. Having 1 and 2 means that developing new modules requires VS target compile framework being minimum of 3.5 SP1.

Are all of these correct?

Thanks again!
- David

That's correct, David. In VS I have the option of targeting .Net frameworks 2.0, 3.0, 3.5 and 4.0. If you will be referencing DotNetNuke.dll from versions 5.02.00 and later, you must target 3.5 or 4.0 for your new module projects. Unless you will be developing a Razor based module, it is best to target 3.5. Razor, however, requires targeting 4.0 AND having the ASP.Net MVC 3 framework installed.
