    Hi, I have a VS2005 project for Windows CE 5.0. After I migrate it to VS2008, I want to downgrade to .NET 2.0 for the backwrad compatability. However I can't find "Target Framework" in the project properties for me to select. How do I downgrade it? Thanks!

      You don't. The "Target Framework" option didn't come around until Visual Studio 2010.

        :confused::confused::confused: I use VS 2008 C# Express regularly, and I set "Target Framework" to ".NET Framework 2.0" all the time... (the other choices being 3.0 and 3.5).

        Fed up by FireFox memory leaks I switched to Opera and now CP doesn't perform its paste magic, so links will not be offered. Sorry.

            It turns out that the IDE treats desktop and device apps differently. With a device app, you can access the main menu "Project->Change Target Platform..." where you can select among various mobile platforms.
