that is after installing .net 3 and vs 2008, can I still use vs2005 to emit
code for target pc with only .net 2 run time?


It seems various prev thread, vs 2008 express is not exactly good/easy for
targeting .net 2 features only

We do run both versions in complete co-existence!

By the way: If your only requirement is to have your apps run on the .NET
2.0 Common Language Runtime, you can compile with VS 2008. VS 2008/Orcas did
_not_ introduce a new CLR. I suppose you asked whether you could compile for
the .NET 2.0 Framework (not CLR)?

Have you tried VS 2008's multi-target option? Right-click your project,
select Properties and on the Application tab switch Target Framework to the
one you want to go for.

Hope this helps,
Ralf
