Having developed the site using Umbraco 4.5.2/.Net 4 it now seems the desired hosting environment only has support for .Net 3.5. How easy would it be to downgrade from 4 to 3.5? Is the database the same? Could I just replace all the Umbraco files (/bin, /umbraco, web.config etc..)?
I'd suggest download both versions and performing a "beyond-compare" on the files to spot all differences. You can use this compare as a 'downgrade' manual.
beyond compare is our tool of choice for comparing / finding differences in files. takes about 5 minutes to go through an umbraco website
Hmm... if I remeber correctly I think I did a new install of Umbraco on .Net 3.5 (same version) but then used the database & templates/xslt I had made for the .Net 4 install and it worked.

Here is an overview of the files that are different between the two versions:
Thanks Rik, I'll give that a shot.

How did this go?
I need to do the same, and just wondered if you hit any other problems etc.
