As with my earlier messing around with a poll, I took a concept from the www.asp.net site today and made my own "CheckDotNet.aspx" page. The one on www.asp.net only checks for the .NET Framework 1.0 or better, so I modified the logic to detect 1.1 and 1.0 as two distinct cases... recommending an upgrade for no framework or 1.0, and returning "Framework Found" if you have 1.1 already.

Difficult? Nope... nothing too impressive...

Useful? I have no idea, but I thought it was worth putting up. The page has only one bit of code, the load event handler (and yes, I know I could have overriden OnLoad... but the code I started with was using Page_Load, so I just went with it)...

     Sub Page_Load(sender as Object, e as EventArgs)
        Dim clrVersion as Version = Request.Browser.ClrVersion
        If clrVersion.Major > 0 Then
         If clrVersion.Minor > 0 Then
             aOkPanel11.Visible = True
         Else
             aOkPanel1.Visible = True
         End If
        Else
            downloadPanel.Visible = True
        End If
     End Sub

aOkPanel11 on my page contains the text to show if the user has the 1.1 version of the Framework... aOkPanel1 is shown if they have 1.0 only, and downloadPanel appears if they have no Framework at all.

Sadly, I have to admit that I haven't found a machine around the house or office without at least the .NET Framework 1.0 on it, so I haven't been able to completely test the page :)
