How can I test my server has .net 3.5 SP1 installed?

Question

Hi,

Is there a way I can upload a file to my web server to test whether .net 3.5 SP1 was installed properly?

Maybe use a new feature or something?

Answer 1

I think, there is not. But you can write a pure .net 3.5 aspx webpage and upload it and request it. If it works as worked at your machine, server has got proper 3.5 :)

Add this to Web.config file and see if the assembly exists:

<add assembly="System.Web.Abstractions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/>
