Compiling to different frameworks.

[Guest]

I have developed a VB .NET component using VS 2003 under version 1.1 of the framework. I want to produce two version of the component; one for each version of the framework. Is it possible to compile to different frameworks? When I create an exe the build page has an option for a target framework but it is disabled for components

Cheers, Robby

Hi Robby,

Thanks for posting in the community.

Is it possible to compile to different frameworks? When I create an exe

the build page has an option for a target framework but it is disabled for
components?
yes, you can, please refer to the following MSDN and related tech articles:

Hi Robby,

In addition to the setting in VS.NET IDE Gary has mentioned. You can also
manually set the runtime version which used by your application in the your
application's config file. You can use the <supportedRuntime> element to
target a runtime version. For example:
<configuration>
<startup>
<requiredRuntime version="v1.0.3705" />
</startup>
<runtime>
.....
</configuration>

For detailed info, you can refer to the following reference in MSDN:

#Targeting a .NET Framework Version

Hope this also help.
