Targeting for fw 2.0

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

Hi

I have upgraded a vs2003 app into vs2008. How can I tell vs2008 to target
this app for framework 2.0 instead of 3.5? I can't seem to find this option
anywhere.

Thanks

Regards

a) If your project is C# one then go to Project/Properties/Application tab.
b) If your project is a VB.NET one then go to Project/Properties/Compile tab
and click Advanced Compile Options... button.
And there it is: Target Framework.

Just was a question. On a machine which doesn't have VB 2008 but
has .NET 3.5 and VB 2005.

Perhaps you can link newer assemblies, however IDE won't support any of the
new IDE features, such as extension methods, LINQ, etc. and will yield
errors in such case I presume.

Plus you have language extensions that are usefull if not mandatory to
support some of the new 3.5 features. I would just install what is missing
(VS 2008 Express editions are free and installs side by side with 2005).
