  The new SharePoint is running on the .Net 4 framework, but still using ASP.NET web forms, and not ASP.NET MVC. As far as I can see its running on ASP.NET Web Forms 4.0, although Chris O’Brian (http://www.sharepointnutsandbolts.com/2012/07/sharepoint-2013-my-view-on-whats-new.html) says that ASP.NET Web Forms 4.5 is used.

  

  What is the best method to see which version of ASP.NET web forms is running?

  I’m a happy customer of http://www.cloudshare.com, and only days after the release of SharePoint 2013 preview I was able to spin up an instance of SharePoint Server 2013 with the following configuration:

  SharePoint Server 2013 Preview

  Description: OS: Windows Server 2012 RC x64
  Spec: 80 GB HD / 8 GB RAM
  Installed:
  • SharePoint Server 2013 Preview
  • SQL Server 2012 Standard
  • Visual Studio 2012 RC Ultimate Edition
  • SharePoint Designer 2013 Preview
  • Adobe Reader

  The machine works like a breeze, although I already had some SharePoint crashes. But hey, it’s a preview!

  Kudo’s to CloudShare for getting a template machine up and running so fast.

  PS: I’m in no way affiliated to CloudShare, just a happy customer.

  Today I released version 1.4.0.3. of SharePoint.DesignFactory.ContentFiles. This is a bugfix release where the following issues are fixed:

  Change Log - SharePoint.DesignFactory.ContentFiles v1.4.0.3
  ===========================================================

  Product Version:

  1.4.0.3
  - Fixed issue: Documentation and Sample.ps1 machine configuration file had missing ';' after first line of configuration (SharePointDeployment = 'ClientObjectModel')
  - Fixed issue: UseClaims flag of machine configuration was not passed correctly, so Claims Authenticated deployment with client object model (Office365 for example) was not working
  - Fixed issue: Custom configurations not working due to missing parameter in Deploy.cmd and Redeploy.cmd
                 See: http://myspworld.wordpress.com/2012/06/25/deploy-content-files-to-sharepoint-using-sharepoint-designfactory-contentfiles/ (thanks Amadeu)
