Question

I have an issue when deploying wcf service to remote iis, first, I have vs solution contains two projects

1. WCF Library (ExchangeMailCore)

<%@ServiceHost Language="C#" Debug="true" Service="ExchangeMailCore.ExchangeEmailService" %>

my web.config file as follows,

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>

  <appSettings>
    <!--<add key="aspnet:UseTaskFriendlySynchronizationContext" value="true" />-->
    <add key="aspnet:UseTaskFriendlySynchronizationContext" value="true" />
    <add key="ClientSettingsProvider.ServiceUri" value="" />
  </appSettings>

This runs perfectly on localhost, but when I deploy to the remote server it gives following error,

.Net framework is 4.5

Is any one can help on this?
