I think you can install the WPF and WCF and WF extensions to .Net 2.0 for VIsual Studio 2005, and use those. You can't target the 3.0 or 3.5 framework specifically, or use .Net 3.5, without upgrading to VS2008 though. RobinS.

That's a little misleading. You don't really "target" the 3.0 or 3.5 frameworks in the same sense that you "target" the 1.0, 1.1 or 2.0 frameworks. You can, however, use the 3.0 framework by installing the 3.0 framework and adding the extensions to VS as you mentioned. -Scott [quoted text, click to view] "RobinS" <robins@imnottelling.com> wrote in message

I was referring to the capability in VS2008 to let you denote which framework you are targeting. My presumption is that if you target .Net 2.0, you can not compile a project with .Net 3.0 components in it. RobinS. [quoted text, click to view] "Scott M." <smar@nospam.nospam> wrote in message

But when you install the 3.0 Framework and the VS extenstions for WCF and WPF into VS 2005, you are still working against the 2.0 CLR (framework) but using 3.0 components. So, you can, in fact, do exactly what you presume you can't do. That's my point, the 3.x Framework sit on top of the 2.0 Framework and so you don't "target" the 3.x frameworks like you do the others. -Scott

Actually, you do "target" the framework. By doing so, the compiler knows which DLLs are to be loaded at runtime. Mike.

Okay, let me say this again with different words: Unless you are using VS2008, in which case if you want to use 3.0 or 3.5 you have to change the Target Framework property in the Application tab of the project properties. Do you have VS2008? RobinS. GoldMail.com
