Is there a tool to convert a .Net 3.5 app back to 2.0?

I've written some cute, semi-useful apps. They're in C# and .Net 3.5. Unfortunately, a lot of the places around work where I would like to use them are machines with only .Net 2.0. That means just to use my tool, I have to install a new framework. Bummer. Is there an easy way to convert a 3.5 app to 2.0? Perhaps there is a tool out there for this? My code goes in one side as 3.5 and comes out the other as 2.0? Or am I stuck with basically rebuilding?

Yeah, I've done that. I'm a n00b at this and have only developed in 3.5, so going back to 2.0 is kind of like re-learning. Here's a related question: is there a way to make Visual C# Developer's Intellisense pull from 2.0?

See, I basically have learned 70% of what I know with Intellisense. For example, I have a control and I want to do something with it, so I type its name and wait for Intellisense to tell me what's available for the control. Of course, after that I may need to refer to MSDN to find out more about a method or something, but at least Intellisense gives me a mental springboard.

So, is there a way to make Intellisense use 2.0?

Oh, rad! So if I change the target framework, Intellsense knows it. How...um...intelligent!
