I made this windows forms application in .net 3.5 (VS c# express) .
Now I want to convert it so it can run with just .net 2.0 installed. SO in my project properties: I selected “target framework ” as 2.0 , fixed the errors that I got.
After this the app runs fine with .net 3.0 installed , but won’t run on a fresh install of xp with with .net 2.0 installed. “Application has crashed. send error report”
What do I do ? I want this thing to run under 2.0.
here is the code :

The way it closes doesn’t look like need to upgrade the framework but lets see those:
Try to test it under .NET 2.0 with latest .NET 2.0 service pack installed
Try to check the references in your project whether they’re all clean to .NET 2.0 or not, sometimes this is not done correctly. Press F4 of every assembly that has 2.0 and 3.x versions to see properties and confirm (and remove/add if needed). If you see anything like LINQ or so, this needs to be removed.
Try to bring Visual C# 2005 Express or similar and see if the code compiles under it. Or create new .NET 2.0 project and copy your code to it.
