RE: How do I specify the CF runtime Version in VS 2005

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

When you want to specify the runtime version for a .NetCF app you can use the
application config file to say exactly which version of the runtime you would
like to run against. However this is probably not what you want in this case.
This blog article has tons of information about this topic:

If you would like your app to be supported by the v1 runtime you should
choose your project type to be Smart Device Application/Library/Console/etc
with the "(1.0)" tag after it in the New Project Wizard. (You may also be
able to change the project type in the project settings after you have
created it). Without the (1.0) tag you get the default 2.0 project that will
only run on a 2.0 runtime.

Your other option is to include the 2.0 netCF install in your app install so
that users will have it. I think msdn has some docs about what the best way
to do that is.
