We're building a new test box for our website, and I was asked if I wanted ASP.Net 4.5 on it. Looking at the compatibility listing, though, I immediately see:
"The SoapFormatter class does not guarantee cross-version compatibility. Use the System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter and System.Runtime.Serialization.NetDataContractSerializer classes instead."

That sounds like it might be a problem. Does anyone know if it's compatible with the SOAP API?
Thanks,

Gawain,
.NET 4.5 works for the most part from what I've seen, however there are some exceptions, such as Order Confirmation and Credential Emails. We have a separate 2008 R2 / IIS 7 / .NET 4 server for only those emails. Other than those two items, we have not yet run into any problems with .NET 4.5.
That said, it's also important to note that the Opera website is probably not as heavily invested in SOAP calls as other licensees may be, so it could be an issue depending on what you are doing.
Thanks Ryan: I'll think try to keep things at 4 for now then.
