I m using IIS Express  rather than IIS   The problem was in the applicationhost config file located in   solution folder   vs config applicationhost config   One of the application pool entries had a managedRuntimeVersion value of  v2 0    I changed it to  v4 0   and it worked properly   I m fairly sure the root cause was one of the NuGet packages I had installed recently        lt system applicationHost gt          lt applicationPools gt             lt add name  BadAppPool1  managedRuntimeVersion  v2 0  managedPipelineMode  Integrated  CLRConfigFile   IIS USER HOME  config aspnet config  autoStart  true    gt          lt  applicationPools gt       lt  system applicationHost gt

Saw the error  Unrecognized attribute  targetFramework   in the  Console output  page of Jenkins on a build server  This was after I changed the  target framework  for several projects from   NET Framework 3 5  to   NET Framework 4  and committed my changes   In Jenkins the project settings had to be changed  For the solution the  MSBuild Version  had to be changed from  v3 5  to  v4 0

For anyone having this who doesn t have IIS running on their dev PC  here s what happened to me  I had one website on  overwrote with files from a diff website that was 4 while the previous was 3 5  Got this error  Fixed it simply by changing the directory name of the website  which on a dev PC can be anything  so no problem   The above are probably more elegant to be sure  but sometimes simple works  IF you can get away with it  i e   you re in dev rather than QA or Prod

This typically happens when you have an attribute of targetFramework  4 0  in the web config but the App Pool is set to run ASP NET 2 0  The targetFramework attribute is entirely unrecognized by ASP NET 2 0 - so changing it to 2 0 won t have the desired effect   Contact Support   Your Administrator and have the AppPool switched to 4 0   You could also remove the attribute entirely  however if your site was coded with the 4 0 Framework  then I m sure something else will cause an error as well

I had this error from a failed MSBuild compile  in a project file converted from an earlier version of VS into VS2010 and  NET 4 0  It was actually a Web Deployment project  and the solution that worked for me was adding the following entries into the PropertyGroup section at the start of the MSBuild file    lt ProductVersion gt 10 0 11107 lt  ProductVersion gt    lt TargetFrameworkVersion gt v4 0 lt  TargetFrameworkVersion gt    Maybe these get automatically updated when other types of project are converted in VS2010  but they were missing from my Web Deployment project file after it was converted

If you re using IIS Express  it creates a new configuration for each site that you run  and it s bound to the url  host port   However  when it opens a new project using the same port it doesn t refresh the configuration  This means that if you have a project using CLR 2 0   NET Framework 2 0 to 3 5  running on some port and then later you open another project in the same port using CLR 4   NET Framework 4 x   the new project will try to run using CLR 2  which fails - and in case it doesn t even recognize the  quot targetFramework quot  attribute  One solution is cleaning IIS Express sites  but the easiest method is changing the port so that IIS Express will create a new site  using CLR 4  for your project
