8.4 Targeting a Specific Runtime Version
A new feature in Version 1.1 of the .NET Framework is the ability to
target a specific version of the .NET runtime with your
Web application. This means that if you have a Web application built
with the 1.0 version of the framework that will not run on the
Version 1.1 framework (for example, if it uses an API that has
changed), you can configure your application such that it continues
to run under Version 1.0 of the framework (note that the version of
the framework you wish to run under must be installed on the target
machine).To configure your application to run under ASP.NET 1.0, open the
Internet Information Services administrative applet and navigate to
the application or web site you want to configure, as shown in Figure 8-1 (Windows Server 2003 version is shown).
Right-click the desired application folder, and select Properties. In
the Properties dialog, click the Home Directory tab (shown in Figure 8-2), and then click the Configuration button.

In the Application Configuration dialog, shown in Figure 8-3, in turn select each of the extensions handled
by ASP.NET (you can tell which ones because they will be mapped to
%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\aspnet_isapi.dll ,
where %windir% represents the path to your
Windows directory), and click the Edit button. Browse to the
aspnet_isapi.dll file located in the
%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.3705\
folder.

Once you've mapped all the extensions to the correct
version of aspnet_isapi.dll ,
you're done. Your application is now running under
ASP.NET Version 1.0.
