I have a project with the Target framework set to V3.5.  When I build it and look at the resulting dll, the runtime version is set to v2.0.50757.  Shouldnt this be V3.5?

Why is my C# Project runtime version = v2.0.50??? when I have the target framework set to v3.5?

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
