C# Service using 3.0 and .NET 2.0, can it be deployed to any platf

[Guest]

If I develop applications and windows service on Vista using C# 3.0 and .NET
2.0 will I be able to deploy to any platform besides Vista?

What are some of the issues will I need to be aware of?

Is there a Microsoft website where I can do further research to find answers?

Thanks in advance for your help!

The .NET 3.0 redist is available for XP and 2003

For general info on .NET 3.0, look at www.netfx3.com

Marc, thank you for your response this was helpful. I am going to develop on
Vista OP using VS2005, C#, and .NET 2.0 a windows service which I will be
deploying to a 2003 server. Since I am using .NET 2.0 instead of 3.0 I guess
I won't need a redist?

Actually, can I double-check something? Do you mean C#3.0, or .NET
3.0? They are different things...
You state VS2005, which leads me to think .NET 3.0 (since C#3 is
VS2008).

If you use features from .NET3.0 [or .NET3.5 (C#3)], then you will
need to install the suitable redist on the server. For instance, if
the service is a WCF server, then the server will need .NET 3.0

However, you can target 2.0 from a development machine with 3.0 or 3.5
on it.
