In my project's property pages / references
I find most versions are 3.5.0.0 as I'd expect.

But System.Design and System.Windows.Forms
are version 2.0.0.0

Is that what you'd expect?

Also, would you expect to find those in a web project?


Finally,
There is also a System.Xml.Linq
I do not use Linq
Should I remove that?


Thanks
 
..NET3.x is just 2.0 extension. That is, the core .NET library is still 2.0,
such as System, System.Windows.Forms.... By targeting 3.x with VS2008, it
allows you to use 3.x component/framework, such as WPF/WCF/WFF/LINQ...But
you do not HAVE TO use them. It is your development choice.

VS automatically add System.Xml.Linq to 3.x targeting project. If you are
sure you do not use it, you can remote the refernce and "using..."
statement.
 
thanks a lot
