Upgrade to ASP.NET MVC version 2

I have been doing some work on a ASP.NET MVC project today i tried to publish the website but i ve got an error. my hosting service provider told me is due to the fact that i have version 1 while they support version 2. how can i upgrade to version 2? are the differences between the two version so extreme that a previous version is not supported by the successuve?

thanks

That seems very unusual, because:

MVC 2 is still in beta, and
The two versions can be run side by side.

This sounds backwards (i.e. I would see if they only supported 1, not 2). 2 is not yet final, unless I'm very much wrong.

MVC should be bin-deployable. Just mark the reference (to your current v1 ref) to copy local and try publishing that way.

could you explain pleaseMVC should be bin-deployable. Just mark the reference (to your current v1 ref) to copy local and try publishing that way.

He means that, in your project references there is a reference to `System.Web.Mvc`, and in the properties for that reference is a property called `Copy Local.` Set that to `true`.

Open the References node in Solution Explorer, find System.Web.Mvc, right click it and select Properties, set Copy Local to true. Then try publishing again.

Sorry about that. Should have been clearer.

There is a guidance document on MSDN :Upgrading an ASP.NET MVC 1.0 Application to ASP.NET MVC 2. I used it today and it was very helpful in migrating my application.
