ArcGIS Engine 10 version vs. .NET Runtime version

Question

Hi All,

I've recently begun moving my custom ArcGIS Engine code from 9.3 (VS2005) to 10.0 (VS2010)... I'm targeting Microsoft's  .NET 3.5 SP1 framework ... HOWEVER, I have noticed that all of my ESRI.* referenced assembly properties state they are compiled against the 2.0 .NET runtime.

Are there proper 3.5 assemblies around? Am I doing something wrong, or just misinterpreting the 3.5 requirement.

thanks

3.5 includes 2.0 so I think that you are good to go.

If you look at the Microsoft assemblies you will similar things.

I know 2.0 (heck even 1.1) assemblies will work against a 3.5 (or 4.0) runtime ... but I'd like to run the newest possible assemblies; if there are any.
