    Side-by-Side (multiple framework) Support in ASP.NET

    Hi,

     I'm running several WS2003 with framework 1.1 & 2.0 side by side.

    I couldn't find any best practices for such a configuration apart from the below article:

    http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/t7604sb9(VS.80).aspx

    I'm quite concerned about the outcome of running a large amount of sites (approx. 80-100 sites) 

    some framework 2.0 and others framework 1.1 on the same server.

    Anyone have experience/recommendations for such a case?

    Thanks,

    Onn

    Each version has to be in its own application pool.  Whether or not you want more applicxation pools depends a lot on the sites, as well as RAM available, but you'll probably find you want more app pools, possibly even one per site.

    I agree it's probably best to have each site run under it's own app pool although I know there's a limit to the no. of app pools you can run (I think it's 60) and I believe my servers are capable of running more sites then this limit. The question is whether there are all sorts of implications i.e. security, performance etc of running these 2 frameworks side-by-side as apposed to having them run separately on seperate servers.

    These sites are production sites therefore their uptime is extremely important.

    ANy suggestions/references would be appreciated.

    It's not at all an issue of the two frameworks but rather the number of applications.  You'll have to do your own benchmarking and monitoring to tell if it will work.
