How to force a hosted site to use asp.net 2.0

Question

My hosted asp.net site is erroring since it says it cant understand MasterPageFile in the Page directive. The error is reported by asp.net 1.1. My site is compiled to asp.net 2.0 and the hosting provider supports it.

I am not sure what I have done to upset the apple cart. I fear it's because I mistakenly deleted the empty cgi-bin and aspnet_client folders (since restored).

Any ideas how I can rectify this? Something in web.config perhaps?

Answer 1

Try to change the site's application pool on the web server to be of 2.0 .NET version and not a 1.1 .NET application pool.
