I had this problem with a VB.NET project, but I', guessing it is a
Visual Studio issue, and not language specific.

I converted a 2005 solution to 2008. Every project properties window
for each project in the solution does not have a drop down for target
framework. If I create a new project in this converted solution, the
new project has the target framework dropdown.

So, just which target framework will the converted projects use? 2.0
or 3.5?

And if 2.0, how can I upgrade the target framework to 3.5 when there
is no dropdown to do so?

Well, it turns out that this situation is specific to VB.NET.

And for some strange reason, the target framework dropdown is in a
different place for VB.NET than C#.NET, it is on the Compile Tab under
Advanced Compile Options.
