One of the coolest feature of the future Visual Studio 2008 (actually in Beta 2) is in my opinion the support for multitargeting: it supports the ability to target multiple versions of the .NET Framework, including using the new language features and also taking advantage of all project templates out of the box (finally!!).
This new feature helps a lot a developer that has the needs to support projects with different version of the .NET Framework (this is my case...), because finally you can use a single tool to manage everything. Wonderful!
Unfortunately I'm not the one that has noted a "noise" when using the multitargeting feature (and collecting the feedbacks I can see that lots of developers don't like this), so it's the time to signal it to the VS Team. What? The location of the multitargeting option!
If you're working on a C# project, you can change the .NET Framework version in use simply via the Project properties, under the Application tab:
So simple... :)
Instead, if you're working on a VB.NET project and you want to change the target Framework version, you've to go to the Project properties, click on the Compile tab, then click on the Advanced Compile Options:
Not so simple and intuitive I think...
Why this differences of options between C# and VB.NET? This is not an help for a developer that has frequently to switch between the two environments. Is there a possibility for a little changement for the RTM version? Having the same options menu for C# and VB.NET helps really a lot...
