Abstract
Mainly, developers using Visual Studio 2008 use it to create ASP.NET 3.5 projects. But the IDE supports previous versions as well, and this article written by Scott examines the creation of new ASP.NET 2.0 projects with ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 using Visual Studio 2008. He provides a brief explanation of ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 Multi-Targeting Support and then examines the new project templates which Microsoft provides for free with the help of screenshots.

Introduction

Republished with Permission - Original Article

One of the great new features of VS 2008 is its support for framework multi-targeting. This enables you to use VS 2008 on .NET 2.0, .NET 3.0 and .NET 3.5 projects, and does not require you to upgrade your projects to the latest version of the .NET Framework in order to take advantage of new Visual Studio 2008 features (like JavaScript Intellisense, JavaScript Debugging, code editing, nested master pages, and the improved web designer and CSS features - all of which work with .NET 2.0, 3.0 and 3.5 projects).
