How do I use .NET 3.0 in VS2005?

I am trying to use Auto-implemented properties in VS2005. I have .NET 3.0 framework loaded on my machine, but Visual Studio is still compiling with .NET 2.0. How do I tell it to use .NET 3.0?

Unfortunately, I don't think it is possible to do this, since that is a feature of the C# compiler. Visual Studio 2005 is hard-coded to use the C# 2.0 compiler. You need to upgrade to Visual Studio 2008 to use the new C# 3.0 features.

Autogenerated properties require C#3.0 which isn't available in VS2005. You need to use VS2008 to get the autogenerated property syntax.

Go to your project properties. Under the application tab you can change your Target Framework
