I was going to reply with a tap, tap, tap but that doesn't work well
on LCD monitors like it did on CRTs. <sigh>

Not during development from the IDE. This feature is new in 2010.

Dammit, MS is already "rewriting history" and targeting older pages to VS
2010. Here's the cached Google version of a page that now shows up specific
to 2010:
http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:adVqi4HfmB4J:msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb398197.aspx+vs+2008+target+framework&cd=3&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us

But the easiest way to tell is to go into the properties of a project in VS
2008 and in the Application tab (I'm talking C#; dunno if it's different for
VB.NET) there's a Target Framework dropdown. Is this not what you're talking
about?

Hate to break it to you, but we couldn't hear you when you did it on your
CRT, either.

I'm still using a nice pair of 21" CRTs, here, and will until they
'splode!
