Hi,

how can I upload a DNN module writen in .net 3.5 with linq and AjaxControlToolkit for 3.5 to an existing Portal with DNN 4.8.4.

I always got this mistake:

Error: TestModule is currently unavailable.
DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: (0): error CS1705: Assembly 'AjaxControlToolkit, Version=3.0.20229.20843, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=28f01b0e84b6d53e' uses 'System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' which has a higher version than referenced assembly 'System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' ---> System.Web.HttpCompileException: (0): error CS1705: Assembly 'AjaxControlToolkit, Version=3.0.20229.20843, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=28f01b0e84b6d53e' uses 'System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' which has a higher version than referenced assembly 'System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' at System.Web.Compilation.AssemblyBuilder.Compile() at System.Web.Compilation.BuildProvidersCompiler.PerformBuild() at System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.CompileWebFile(VirtualPath virtualPath) at System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.GetVPathBuildResultInternal(VirtualPath virtualPath, Boolean noBuild, Boolean allowCrossApp, Boolean allowBuildInPrecompile) at System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.GetVPathBuildResultWithNoAssert(HttpContext context, VirtualPath virtualPath, Boolean noBuild, Boolean allowCrossApp, Boolean allowBuildInPrecompile) at System.Web.UI.TemplateControl.LoadControl(VirtualPath virtualPath) at System.Web.UI.TemplateControl.LoadControl(String virtualPath) at DotNetNuke.UI.Skins.Skin.InjectModule(Control objPane, ModuleInfo objModule, PortalSettings PortalSettings) --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

If I change the System.Web.Extensions from Version=1.0.61025.0 to Version=3.5.0.0 manually, then the modules are running, but other thing from the DNN Framework are out of order (e.g. the host settings from the host menue or I can´t open the module definitions for the modules with the pen on the left site of each module.)

Does anybody knows the answer?

Best regards,

Alex

Yes, but how can I do this?

I found a description from Michael at dotnetnuke.adefwebserver.com

and I modify the web.config as he wrote, but I still got the following error when I try to put his demo mdoule on a page with DNN 4.8.4:

How can I check if my Provider has installed the .net 3.5 framework correct?

What can I do?

I have no idea.

Best regards,

Alex

As others mentioned it is pretty difficult to determine the version of framework running without access to the server or full trust (see this article... pretty interesting, but you probably wouldn't be able to do it in a hosting environment: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/frameworkversiondetection.aspx)

You'll need to just contact your hosting provider and ask them.

One thing that I have found useful on my instances of DNN is to ensure all the modules will use the latest version of the framework and AJAXControlToolkit (this is unrelated to your error... but a "good tidbit").  You can use the assembly binding to remap older versions to newer versions.  Insert the following tags just before the closing tag in your web.config:

EDIT: ok, it stripped out all those tags... nice.  I repasted and replaced all the less than with <_ and all the greater than with >_ -- copy out into notepad and replace them with their appropriate symbols.
