ASP.NET Framework Docs

Overview

Use this skill to produce documentation-grounded answers for legacy ASP.NET Framework and .NET Framework 4.x work. Load references/microsoft-learn-dotnet-framework.md and prefer those links as canonical sources.

Workflow

1. Identify stack and target runtime.

• Confirm whether the user means ASP.NET Framework (System.Web, MVC 5/Web API 2/Web Forms) versus ASP.NET Core.
• Detect target framework from .csproj, packages.config, or web.config when files are available.
• State assumptions explicitly if the target is not provided.

2. Route to the right documentation cluster.

• Use install/version pages for runtime detection, prerequisites, and blocked installation issues.
• Use guide/deployment pages for architecture, configuration, and rollout questions.
• Use support-policy pages for lifecycle and package-support questions.
