It seems .NET goes to 3.5 now, on one of my server, I installed .NET framework 3.0. I don't find 3.0 under ASP.NET version on ASP.NET tab of my website on IIS. ASP.NET 2.0 is installed together with .NET 2.0, but why ASP.NET 3.0 is not install with .NET 3.0?

.Net 3.0 use .Net 2.0 runtime , thats why it doesn't appears in IIS(it the same as .Net 2.0). so don't worry about that .

just install the framework ,and your server will use it if required.

It doesn't sound right, see ASP.NET 2.0 is based on .NET 2.0, I can install both .NET 1.0 and 2.0 on a server, and I can choose to use ASP.NET 1.0 or 2.0 in IIS. Now if I don't select ASP.NET 3.0(no such choice), how does it know if I want to use 3.0? If I only want to use 2.0, and I have the ASP.NET 2.0 selected in IIS, it should not call any 3.0 features, right?
