If you send me an email and wonder why I never get back to you, maybe it has been stuck in my SPAM filter. My mail software blocks and sends me a list of all potential SPAM and virus mails and I just skim the subjects. So please make sure you DON'T use a trivial subject like "question" or "hi" and rather include "HierarGrid", "ASP.NET" or whatever might catch my attention.

James Avery was kind enough to include my ASP.NET Version Switcher in his list of the "Ten Must-Have Tools Every Developer Should Download Now" that is published in the current edition of MSDN Magazine July 2004.

Yesterday, I've checked the current version with the Beta1 of Visual Web Developer Express and it worked. Please note that it does seem to have problems running from a network share but once locally installed everything was fine. Let me know if you have difficulties.

I was asked if the ASP.NET Version Switcher works with the bits from the PDC (Whidbey Alpha and Longhorn).

Actually, I've tested it with

• IIS 5.0 (Win2k)
• IIS 5.1 (WinXP)
• IIS 6.0 (WS2003)
• IIS 7.0 (Longhorn)

and Framework 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2.30703.*. It should all work. If you notice any problems please let me know.

I've released a new version of the ASP.NET Version Switcher which contains the following minor changes:

V1.1.0.0 (published 2003-10-17)

• Bugfix: initial display of Framework version was wrong
• Bugfix: VRoots with space in the name caused an exception (thanks to David Hartman)
• Bugfix: if only one scriptmap existed on any VRoot an exception occurred (Tom Connors)

You can download it here.

The ASP.NET Version Switcher is a little utility that can be used to quickly switch the .NET Framework version that the ASPX pages are compiled against. This is helpful for developers who often have to test their web applications for compatibility with different version of the .NET Framework.

Internally, it uses the command line tool called ASPNET_REGIIS that is included in the Microsoft.NET Framework.

Additional features:
- toggle if only selected vroot should be version switched or child vroots recursively (-s or -sn command line parameter)
- double click on node opens explorer in respective directory
- quick link to IIS Manager

Download (V1.0):
ASPNETVersionSwitcher.exe

If you have any questions or comments please let me know.
