Hmm... changing ToolsVersion to 2.0 doesn't stop it from compiling on

intrigued as to what ToolsVersion really does...

I didn't say it stops it from compiling, it forces VS2008 to use C# V2 of
the compiler instead of V3.5.

But presumably that should stop it from compiling C# 3 code, which is
what I meant - sorry.

All "ToolsVersion" does is tell VS2008 to load the CSC.EXE from the V2
Framework directory.

Mmm... doesn't seem to be doing anything on my machine :(

Unless that's interacting with the difference between MSBuildToolsPath
and MSBuildBinPath...
