Upgrading from VS2005 to VS2008
I upgraded from VS2005 to VS2008 today. The first server I publised to went off without a hitch. I'm glad, because that gave me confidence that VS2008 was going to be a fairly easy upgrade.
Prior to upgrading, I did some research and found that .NET 3.5 is really the .NET 2.0 core with some added referenced assemblies. Because of that, IIS still gives only the two options of ASP.NET 1.1 or 2.0. Knowing that going in probably saved a lot of time because my next publish to another server revealed this issue:
Parser Error Message: Child nodes not allowed.
Source Error:
Source File: C:\Inetpub\devads.sundropsystems.com\web.config Line: 80
Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:2.0.50727.832; ASP.NET Version:2.0.50727.832
Luckily, the solution to this problem was easily found. It turns out that my 2nd server had 2 updates to .NET waiting in Windows Update.
KB110806 - .NET Framework 2.0 SP1
KB929300 - .NET Framework 3.0 SP1
These patches allow .NET to understand these child nodes: providerOption
