We had several standing applications targeting .NET 2.0--they didn't change
at all and, after a few months now, have had no issues. Our 3.5 applications,
after the RTW of 3.5 was installed, published without any trouble aside the
existing applications. All of our production servers are now running the
3.5 framework and are working great.

You are correct--3.0/3.5 are simply additions to the framework... you're
still, essentially, hitting the .NET 2.0 framework (if you look at %systemroot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework,
you'll see 3.0 and 3.5 folders, but the aspnet utilities still reside in
2.0).

Good luck with your upgrade!

Hello all:

I've got a 2K3 R2 web server with an ASP.NET site, a few different web
services and a few Http endpoints running under ASP.NET 2.0. In our
development environment, everything is running under .NET 3.5. Back
in development, we've converted all the production pieces to 3.5 and
now it is time to deploy.

My question is: What, besides targeting the 3.5 framework for each
application and publishing, should be done to ensure a smooth
deployment? Here's a little back story. The live ASP.NET site
(currently in 2.0) uses the ajax extensions toolkit so I'd imagine
I'll have to upgrade that to the 3.5 build. Also, in order to run
under SSL, the ASP.NET site also contains the web service applications
as directories deployed to the server in the ASP.NET site's path. All
of these web services have already been converted (in development) and
are ready to go as well.

I know that the IIS snap-in tool doesn't give an option for 3.5 and
this makes sense as the 3.0/3.5 framework is an extension of the 2.0
framework, but is there any known 'gotchas' to be aware of?

Thanks all!
