Scenario 

You watch the new videos on ASP.NET and when you download the source code you find out that they are using VS2008 and Framework 3.5, and you still running VS2005 and Framework 2.0, plus almost most of these video can run on Framework 2.0 (VS2008 not installed on any machine at work) you can still run that web application by following these steps:

1.       You can delete all the code in the web.config (3.5) and replace it with the code from web.config (2.0).
2.       Then for each page delete these namespace:

1.       you can keep the same web.config (3.5) and remove everything using framework 3.5
2.       Then for each page delete these namespace:

Ø       using System.Xml.Linq;
Ø       using System.Linq;

The ASP.NET Wiki was started by Scott Hanselman in February of 2008. The idea is that folks spend a lot of time trolling the blogs, googlinglive-searching for answers to common "How To" questions. There's piles of fantastic community-created and MSFT-created content out there, but if it's not found by a search engine and the right combination of keywords, it's often lost.

The ASP.NET Wiki articles moved to CodeProject in October 2013 and will live on, loved, protected and updated by the community.
