Testing w/ older versions of .Net

Question

I have .Net 3.5 on my dev machine but am forced to deploy to a .Net 2.0 machine. Without wiping my current install is there a way to "dumb down" my version of .Net so it behaves like .Net 2.0? Thanks

Answer 1

In the properties for your solution in Visual Studio, you can change the Target Framework to ".NET Framework 2.0". Check out this MSDN article for more information.

Answer 2

If you are just testing, my solution would be to create a virtual PC, with just .NET 2.0.

Then deploy it to the testbox and verify everything works.
