How to choose .NET version to compile project?
.net, c#, visual-studio
Solution
You can't I'm afraid. VS2005 only works with .NET framework 2.0. You'll need the appropriate versions of Visual Studio to work with other versions:
- 1.0: Visual Studio .NET
- 1.1: Visual Studio .NET 2003
- 2.0: Visual Studio 2005 / 2008
- 3.0 / 3.5: Visual Studio 2008
- 4.0: Visual Studio 2010
jmservera points out that some 3.0 libraries are compatible with Visual Studio 2005. For example WCF is compatible, while LINQ isn't. Some of these require additional downloads, for example to use Windows Workflow Foundation comfortably in Visual Studio 2005, you need to install this extension.
Problem
I have VS2005. How can I compile my project under specific version of .NET? I have installed 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 & 3.5. Tnx in advance.
