It looks like the *new* feature they are referring to actually filters the libraries so that those not present in the targeted Framework are no longer displayed in the toolbox or through intellisense. I'm still stuck on 2005 at work so I can't verify this, but it looks like you are correct in that they added the multi-targeting feature in VS 2008. Paul ~~~~ Microsoft MVP (Visual Basic)

From: Mayayana on 16 Apr 2010 09:51 | | Best Buy has some 23" monitors for $200. I'm not a gamer so I don't | care about the higher priced features. | A friend recently got an Acer 20" at Staples, on sale, for $129. And it was the higher end version, something like P203H or P205H, I think. I was so impressed with the clarity that I decided it was time to be nice to my aging eyes. When I went to Staples, none of the stores had the same model any longer. And nobody knew when or if they might have it again. (I don't know how they stay in business... but they do occasionally have good sale prices. Best Buy was selling lower grade models for more.) I ended up getting an Acer H243H, 24". I think it was $269 marked down to $219. I really don't understand the pricing. It's all over the place. Maybe it's just that companies like Samsung try to sell their name, like Sony used to do with TVs. At any rate, I'm very pleased with the Acer except for two things: 1) They claim there are "drivers" to install. There are not. They just want to install a load of junk. Ads, registration, etc. Graphic cards now find out monitor resolution directly, as I understand it. When drivers were required, it was really just a small .inf file listing resolutions. 2) These changes in dimension are for the birds. My last monitor was 16/10 ratio instead of 4/3. Now it seems they've settled on 16/9. I had to get a new graphics card to get a usable resolution! But even with that the monitor-viable options are very limited. There are several 4/3 options and at least 1 16/10 option. But I think there are only 2 16/9 options: 16000x900 and 1920x1080.
