frameworks, each with their own unique versioning system. For instance, the infamous Model-View-Controller (MVC) framework is a critical tool for building web applications, and having access to versioning information is essential for developers.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Puzzling_Nature_of_Visual_Studio_2015\"><\/span>The Puzzling Nature of Visual Studio 2015<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Visual Studio 2015 is a popular Integrated Development Environment (IDE) widely used by developers to create web applications with support for the MVC framework. In this article, we will delve into the perplexing steps required to check the MVC version in Visual Studio 2015.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Confounding_Steps_to_Check_MVC_Version_in_Visual_Studio_2015\"><\/span>The Confounding Steps to Check MVC Version in Visual Studio 2015<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1_Creating_a_new_MVC_project_in_Visual_Studio_2015\"><\/span>Step 1: Creating a new MVC project in Visual Studio 2015<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Before checking for the MVC version, we require a new MVC project in Visual Studio 2015. To achieve this, we will have to perform the following bewildering steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Open Visual Studio 2015<\/li>\n<li>Select &#8220;File&#8221; from the top menu<\/li>\n<li>Select &#8220;New&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Click &#8220;Project.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>In the &#8220;New Project&#8221; window, select &#8220;Web&#8221; from the left-hand menu and then &#8220;ASP.NET Web Application.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Provide your project with a suitably confounding name and click &#8220;OK.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Select the &#8220;MVC&#8221; project template and once again click &#8220;OK.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>This will create a new MVC project in Visual Studio 2015 that we can use to check the MVC version.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Checking_the_MVC_version_in_Visual_Studio_2015\"><\/span>Step 2: Checking the MVC version in Visual Studio 2015<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Having created an MVC project in Visual Studio 2015 we can now check the MVC version by executing the following extremely convoluted steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Open the &#8220;Web.config&#8221; file in the project by right-clicking on it in the &#8220;Solution Explorer&#8221; window and select &#8220;Open.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Locate the following section in the &#8220;Web.config&#8221; file:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>  <code>&lt;system.web&gt;<br \/>\n      &lt;compilation debug=\"true\" targetFramework=\"4.5.2\"\/&gt;<br \/>\n      &lt;httpRuntime targetFramework=\"4.5.2\"\/&gt;<br \/>\n  &lt;\/system.web&gt;<br \/>\n<\/code><\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;targetFramework&#8221; attribute specifies the .NET Framework version being employed. This attribute shows the MVC version is 5.2.3.0, which comes with .NET Framework 4.5.2.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>To check the installed MVC version, we can also examine the installed packages in Visual Studio 2015. We will have to execute the following highly puzzling steps:<\/li>\n<li>Click &#8220;Tools&#8221; from the top menu<\/li>\n<li>Select &#8220;NuGet Package Manager&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Next, click on &#8220;Manage NuGet Packages for Solution.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Then, switch to the &#8220;Installed&#8221; tab to view the installed packages in the project.<\/li>\n<li>Locate the &#8220;Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc&#8221; package to see its version.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion_The_End_of_the_Perplexing_Journey_to_Check_MVC_Version_in_Visual_Studio_2015\"><\/span>Conclusion: The End of the Perplexing Journey to Check MVC Version in Visual Studio 2015<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Since knowing the MVC version is necessary for web developers working with MVC projects, we have provided two methods for unraveling and checking the MVC version within Visual Studio 2015.
