Can C# Express 2005 target .Net 1?

[pkirk25]

I want my app to be able to run on PCs without requiring a .Net 2
download.

Can C# Express 2005 be set to create applications that work with .Net 1
even if it requires .Net 2 to run itself?

Can assemblies with with 2005 run on Framework v1.0? No.

Hello pkirk25,

In spite of which edition of VS 2005 u use, it only assigned for .NET 2.0

Yess, it can. See

At least, I don't see why it shouldn't work - I expect it's usually
used with Visual Studio 2005 Professional and higher, but it's worth
trying with C# Express.

Thanks for link!

My target is a little application that generates auction house trends
and buy-lists for World of Warcraft.

I would guess all of the potential users have broadband.

I wonder what percentage of potential users will be put off by needing
to dwonload 15MB from MS? Or is .Net 2 already widely used?

The 2.0 Framework is not installed into Windows by default. It is listed as
an optional download in Windows Update.
