How do I use .NET 3.0 in VS2005?


I am trying to use Auto-implemented properties in VS2005. I have .NET 3.0 framework loaded on my machine, but Visual Studio is still compiling with .NET 2.0. How do I tell it to use .NET 3.0?


Solution

  • Unfortunately, I don't think it is possible to do this, since that is a feature of the C# compiler. Visual Studio 2005 is hard-coded to use the C# 2.0 compiler. You need to upgrade to Visual Studio 2008 to use the new C# 3.0 features.
