Azure DevOps .NETFramework Version not found

Running build pipeline for a web application targeting .NETFramework Version 4.6.1 using 2022 build agent, I have received this error;

The reference assemblies for .NETFramework,Version=v4.6.1 were not found. To resolve this, install the Developer Pack (SDK/Targeting Pack) for this framework version or retarget your application. You can download .NET Framework Developer Packs at https://aka.ms/msbuild/developerpacks 

The solution is to change the build agent to 2019.

How To Update Raspberry Pi

Start by updating the list of repository packages:

sudo apt update

When this is done, run the update command:

sudo apt dist-upgrade

Follow any instructions and wait for the Pi update. When you’re done, type in:

sudo apt clean

This will delete unnecessary files that were uploaded during the update. Finish by restarting:

sudo reboot

When your Raspberry Pi is restarted, you will use the latest version of Raspbian.

Version of .Net Framework, IIS App Pool is using?

.Net Framework 4.5 was installed on my machine and on the IIS Application Pool, I set the .NET CLR version to 4.0.

The AppPool’s .NET CLR Version is different from the .NET Framework Version.

The AppPool’s .NET CLR Version is different from the .NET Framework Version.

The .NET CLR Version 4.0 is the CLR base for the following .NET Framework Versions:

  • 4
  • 4.5 (including 4.5.1 and 4.5.2)
  • 4.6 (including 4.6.1 and 4.6.2 Preview)

So having a .NET CLR Version of 4.0 just means you support the above Frameworks, which will run under their deployed framework version.
