<p>Thanks to a Q&amp;A on stackoverflow. I just found out how to determine the installed version on my hosting provider's server. Now I need to know what that number means.</p>

<p>Using <code>&lt;%=Environment.Version%&gt;</code> on my local machine returns 2.0.50727.3053.</p>

<p>Can someone give me a list of the version 1, 1.1, 2, etc. to the actual <code>Environment.Version</code> codes or break down what that code means?</p>
