How to change the ASP.NET framework version

Overview

Everleap supports multiple ASP.NET Framework versions. You can switch the framework for any site at any time from the General tab of Site Settings without reprovisioning.

Steps

1. Log in to the Everleap Control Panel at cp.everleap.com.
2. From the top menu click Shared Sites.
3. On the Shared Cloud Sites Overview page, click Manage next to the applicable site.

4. On the Site Overview page, click the SETTINGS tab.
5. Click the General tab.
6. Locate the ASP.NET Frameworkdropdown and select the version your application requires. There are two options:
   • 2.0/3.5
   • 4.x

7. Click Update General Settings to save.

Verify It Worked

Reload your site. You can add a test page that outputs the runtime version to confirm the change.

Notes

• The dropdown offers two choices only: 2.0/3.5 covers the .NET Framework 2.0 and 3.5 runtimes (both use CLR 2.0), and 4.x covers .NET Framework 4.0 and later.
• Changing the framework triggers a brief application pool recycle.
• Make sure your application is compiled for the target framework before switching.
• This selector is for the legacy .NET Framework only. Modern unified .NET / ASP.NET Core applications do not use this setting — there is no selector for them, because the runtimes are installed on the servers. See the knowledge base article listing the ASP.NET Core versions installed on the servers.
