Downgrading target framework - 3.5 to 2.0

[John]

Hi there,

I've started off a new web site project in VS 2008 and inadvertently left
the target framework as 3.5, when I really meant to base it 2.0.

I've looked at the project properties page and changed the Build / Target
Framework to 2.0 but I notice that References (also in web.config) still
have 3.5 references such as LINQ.

Can you change a project target framework half way through or can it only be
set at the beginning (note - none of the code behind uses 3.5 namespaces)?

Thanks in advance.

John

Just remove the references and using statements. For references, expand the
References node in Solution Explorer, highlight the offender, hit the DEL key.
