I posted this originally in
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.windowsforms -- but this is probably a
better place...

I am developing with VS 2003 -- .NET framework 1.1
I want my app to also run on .NET framework 1.0, so I define a .config file
with the following:
<configuration>
<startup>
<supportedRuntime version="v1.1.4322" />
<supportedRuntime version="v1.0.3705" />
</startup>
</configuration>

As a test, I am doing this on a plain-vanilla Windows app -- with a single
form and a single textbox.
But it does not work, on a .NET framework 1.0.

Is there a way to debug a config file? Where should I look to make progress?

In VS2003's Solution explorer, right-click the app project->Properties. Then
in "Common Properties->General->Supported Runtime", click "..." button, it
gives you 3 options for the .NET runtime version.
