I am compiling a c# application targeting .NET 3.5 as the runtime

In the app.config I am specifying , the recommended supported version tag for 3.5 as per http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/w4atty68.aspx

What will happen if a computer does not have version .NET 3.5 given I specify .NET 2.0 as the SupportedRuntime ?

Cheers
Scott

    Version 3.5 is basically version 2.0 of the CLR. Regardless of what you define, if you have used any of the features of .NET 3.5 or 3.0 on a machine which has only version 2.0, you will get an error.

    Value of the version will be the same for 2.0, 3.0, 3.5 and 3.5 SP1:

    <configuration>
   <startup>
      <supportedRuntime version="v2.0.50727"/>
   </startup>
</configuration>
