Hi to everybody!

I'm a beginner in programming and I'm starting with Visual Basic. As far as I'm informed the Visual Studio 2008 environment is using .NET Framework 3.5. Visual Studio 2005 seems to use an older Version of Framework. I'd like my applications to run on several computers that do not have the latest Version of Framework installed.
Now my question is: Can I create applications with VB 2008 that are compatible with earlier versions of Framework? Which Version of Framework do applications require the care created in VB 2005?

Thank you for you help in Advance

My best advice would be to use the version of VB that supports your target .NET version. There is a possibility that if you develop in VS 2008, and limit yourself to VS2005 components, the components will have been upgraded to require .NET 3.5 anyway.
