π Which version of MVC am I using? π€
Are you feeling a little lost and unable to determine which version of MVC you are using? Don't worry, you're not alone! Many developers struggle with this question, especially when working with older versions of .NET and Visual Studio.
The Common Issue π
One common scenario is when you are using .NET 4 with Visual Studio 2010, and you can't seem to find the version of MVC. This issue can be a bit puzzling, but fear not, we're here to help you out! π¦ΈββοΈ
The Easy Solution π οΈ
To identify the version of MVC you're using, follow these simple steps:
Open your project in Visual Studio 2010.
In the Solution Explorer on the right-hand side, expand the References folder.
Locate and right-click on the System.Web.Mvc reference.
Select Properties from the context menu.
A dialog box will appear, displaying the properties of the System.Web.Mvc reference. One of the properties you should see is Version. This property will tell you the version of MVC that your project is using.
An Example and Explanation π
Let's imagine you right-clicked on the System.Web.Mvc reference and found that the version is 2.0.0.0. This means that your project is using MVC version 2.
For a more detailed explanation, the version number is made up of four parts: Major.Minor.Build.Revision. In this case, the major version is 2, while the minor, build, and revision versions are all set to 0.
