Introduction

Well, that very tiny post but it is very useful when you wish to know the exact what your hosting provider supports. No need to ask them (hosting company) that which extension you support. By using couples of lines code-behind you can do it yourself. Let's look at the code which will make it possible.

I am using a single .aspx page with VB code-behind.

Code

<%@ Page Language="VB" %>

<%@ Import Namespace="Microsoft.Win32" %>

 

<script runat="server">

    Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As ObjectByVal e As System.EventArgs)

        Dim componentsKeyName As String = "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP"

        Dim componentsKey As RegistryKey = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(componentsKeyName)

        Dim instComps As String() = componentsKey.GetSubKeyNames()

        For Each instComp As String In instComps

            Dim key As RegistryKey = componentsKey.OpenSubKey(instComp)

            If instComp IsNot Nothing AndAlso instComp.StartsWith("v"Then

                lblVersion.Text = lblVersion.Text & instComp & " SP " & key.GetValue("SP") &", "

            End If

        Next

    End Sub

</script>

 

<html>

<head id="Head1" runat="server">  

    <title>CLR Versions</title>

</head>

<body>

    <form id="form1" runat="server">

        <asp:Label ID="lblVersion" runat="server">There is following versions installed and running: </asp:Label>

    </form>

</body>

</html>

HAVE A HAPPY CODING !!
