In Visual C# Express Edition, how do i change the target cpu type for a project?

Ancient Dragon

You can't do that with any of the Express versions. Spend some $$$ for the professional version.

orly? i just found out how to with fiddling around with settings. go to tools -> options. check the 'Show all settings' box to your bottom left. now choose Projects and Solutions in the tree model and choose General. Check 'Show advanced build configurations.' press OK out of the window. now go to build -> configuration manager. it should say 'Any CPU' to your right. you can add a new active solution platform and in the new popup box you can choose the platform out of: IA-64 (Itanium), x86, or x64. reason i needed this was because my 64bit .NET applications had problems working with 32bit COM components.

i got mine pro for free :-p but ive always wanted to make visual studio programs compatible with framework 1.1 which i heard cant be done easily

Ancient Dragon

That nice -- but can you choose smart devices such as Mobile 5.0 or PocketPC, for ARM systems? Answer: No you can't, but you can with the Pro version. And it will target several others too.

Correct. Different versions of the framework have been largely incompatible until lately (then again, 3.0 and 3.5 are mostly 2.0 with extra stuff in them). Post-VS2008, going between framework versions should be much better, but going back to 1.1 will still probably not be supported.

ya you think they would change that since on installation of xp you get 1.1 and alot of people dont ever upgrade for some reason unkown to me

Jimbo

It is indeed annoying, but that's part of why web apps are becoming increasingly popular. Having a single point of app deployment is a lot easier to coordinate than many different computers.
