I'm using 3.5 SP1 on my machine, while our customers currently use 3.5 without SP1. I don't know any way in VS2008 to target the solution or project to 3.5 without SP1, only the 3.5 with SP1 I have installed.
If we use functions or constructors not available in 3.5 w/o SP1 the code will not work properly.
That is, I want to detect at compile time what would not work without SP1.
So far we have done testing (in a VM or separate machine) to see if the application breaks, and it does break sometimes when we've used parts of the API not available until SP1. The problem is that it only breaks when the code actually runs (at runtime), not when the assembly is loaded.
One solution would be to have a machine with VS2008 w/o SP1 and try to compile the project. However I'd prefer some tool to help me detect a dependency to 3.5 SP1 (due to use of new API, or whatever), either by analyzing the source code, or the assemblies we produce.
My google powers has not been strong enough with this question, any hints?
