[RESOLVED] [2008] VB2008 - .Net 2.0

[irishlad]

Anyone know how to make VB08 use .Net 2.0 instead of 3.5 before you start a project?

In the new project dialog box, there will be a dropdown there which allows you to specify which framework you wish to target. You should find the .NET 2.0 framework listed in there.

I don't have a drop down in the new project dialog box, all I have is a read only textbox that says:

A project for creating an application with a Windows user interface (.NET Framework 3.5)

I failed to mention I'm using Express Edition, could this be the reason why?

With the Express Edition of VB 2008 you can't select the Framework version until after the project has been created. Go to the Compile tab of the project properties and click the Advanced button.
