how to force a .net application to use .net 2.0 ?

how to force a .net application to use .net 2.0 ?
this windows service is about 4 years old and im pretty sure is using .net
1.x runtime. Is there soem setting in the installer that says to use .net
2.0 instead of .net 1.0? this windows service is developed in visual studio
2002

Daniel,

What is the impetus for changing the runtime? If it works, why change
it?

Recompile the program using VS2005

anything before .net 2.0 does not support extended memory servers and 64 gig
server etc. even if you have the new windows serve with 64 gigs ram, .net
1.x apps have an upper bound of 2 gigs, and an even smaller upper bound of
memory per object. with memory fragmentation, can see out of memory even
earlier. its a waste of money to get a new windows server with 64 gigs ram
and use .net 1.x

so regretfully many of us will have to upgrade to 2.0 when we hit memory
issues with 1.x :) :) :)

You seriously have a service which needs objects larger than 2 GB?

I think Mel is right, recommending rebuilding with the latest VS 2005.

Dont worry it will work with .net 2.0.
if a system have .net 1.0/1.0/2.0 framework installed .then it will always
run with latest version .if u force to run it with .net 2.0 then syatem that
does not have .net 2.0 installed wil not able to run this application.
even if u want to force it to run only .net 2.0. .
go web.config and
and change the setting in
<?xml version = "1.0"?>
<configuration>
<startup>
<supportedRuntime version="v2.0.50727/>
</startup>
</configuration>

No, he doesn't, because no single version of the CLR allows you to create
such large objects anyway.

I wasn't sure if 3.5 had changed any limits on a 64bit OS. I thought the
poster had implied he needed this.

Strictly speaking the fact that it is not possible does not
imply that there is no need.

Caution: Saying it will RUN under CLR 2 is NOT the same as saying it
will WORK under CLR 2!

I believe that there are sufficiently subtle differences, especially
in the platform invoke layer and cross thread control access that may
cause unexpected problems if the code is not regression tested
completely. And it's not web.config, it's exename.exe.config for a
windows service...
