Can I write code against .Net 4 and its libraries using VS2008? If so how should I configure it?
I realise that VS2008 will probably struggle with language changes such as the dynamic keyword but can I install the version 4 and target it anyway? My only real interest is in being able to use some of the new libraries, in particular I’m interested in the TPL (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_Extensions)
Im afraid not 🙁 its 2010 or nothing, it will run backwards but not forwards. So 2010 will run all prior versions of the framework but not vice versa.
My only suggestion is 2010 Express Edition
