    If you don’t use any .NET 4 specific features, just target 3.0 or 3.5. That will solve any compatibility problems. Here’s a link on MSDN detailing how to do it:

    • On the Project menu, click ProjectName Properties.
    • Click the Application tab.
    • In the Target Framework list, select either .NET Framework 2.0, .NET
      Framework 3.0, or .NET Framework 3.5.
