Before upgrading to Visual Studio 2010, I want to make sure I can still target version 2.0 of the framework. I couldn't find a statement about this from Microsoft. Is it possible?

. NET Framework 2.0 has been around for a decade but will be completely unsupported by Microsoft; the announced end of the extended support period is April 12, 2016. In lock-step with the . NET Framework, the corresponding version of Microsoft's development tool, Visual Studio 2005, is also at its end-of-life.
The functionality of Visual Studio 2010, . NET Framework 4 and Silverlight 4 creates a powerful and unique combination, opening up new opportunities for developers to build applications that take advantage of new and existing devices, as well as emerging platforms like cloud services.”
According to this page, you can. Just make sure you have .NET 3.5 SP1 installed.
Visual Studio 2010 includes only the .NET Framework 4. To target earlier versions of the .NET Framework, you must have the .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 (SP1) installed. The .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 includes the .NET Framework 2.0, the .NET Framework 3.0, and the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1.
