True, this is because all "targets" build with C# 3. However, there's
something that I don't like about this "Version targeting", there is no way
to use V2 of the C# compiler from within VS2008, although C# 2 installed
with VS2008 is the latest build (V8.00.50727.1433) targeting V2 of the
framework.

Yes, it's a shame - it means that if you *do* share projects between
VS2005 and VS2008 users, you need to be careful not to put C# 3 code
in there.

I don't suppose it's possible by manually editing the csproj file is
it? I can't say I've looked at it in detail, but I wouldn't be
surprised if there was a property you could set... (In particular, you
have to set a flag for the CSharpCodeProvider to use C# 3 stuff, so
we'd be looking for the reverse in this case...)
