You actually need neither of those for building the application. A pure .NET 2.0+ application will — in the absence of specific compiler flags to the contrary — run as a 64-bit application under a 64-bit OS and as a 32-bit application under a 32-bit OS.
Edit: Also, there’s no such thing as a 64-bit version of Visual Studio.
