How do I change an application to target the .NET 2.0 framework, NOT the
.NET 3 framework?

I'm creating a winform app, but I would think it's the same method.

The option to change doesn't show up in the properties page of my project.

In VS 2008, you can change the framework in the properties page.

Which property page have you tried ?

If C## this is in the Application tab. If VB.NET click "Advanced compiled
options" in the "Compile" tab.

For Visual Basic WinForms projects, click the Compile tab and then click Advanced Compile Options.
The Target Framework list is in the Advanced Compiler Settings Dialog Box.

Open your project, right-click your project's name in the Solution Explorer;
select "Properties" from the context menu; select "Compile" from the left-hand list;
scroll down to the "Advanced Compile Options" button and click it;
select the "Target Framework (all configurations) dropdown and
select the target framework you want ( 2.0, 3.0 or 3.5 ).

You will be prompted to close and reopen the project.
When it reopens automatically, the change will have been effected.

For Visual C# WinForms projects, the Target Framework list is on the Application tab of the Project Designer.

Open your project, right-click your project's name in the Solution Explorer;
select "Properties" from the context menu; select "Application" from the left-hand list;
select the "Target Framework (all configurations) dropdown and
select the target framework you want ( 2.0, 3.0 or 3.5 ).

It's not.

Why is it that I target the 2.0 framework yet when my client is installing
the WinForm app it's trying to install the 3.5 framework (the version it
used to be)?

I've verified the Adv Compiler Settings. They are set to 2.0.

Thanks.

Do you still have any references to 3.5 assemblies ?

For example :

using System.Linq;

Thanks Juan. There was another option that I had to uncheck in the
properties of the project. :)
