You're stuck with targeting .NET 2.0 in Visual Studio 2008, but you'd like to use all the latest goodness fro开发者_如何学Cm .NET 3.x features, like:

• LINQ
• Extension Methods
• Lambdas

What can one do to enable this awesomeness?

EDIT: I had not originally found the post: C# .NET 3.0/3.5 features in 2.0 using Visual Studio 2008. Go there for an answer.

How to Use .NET 3.5 Features and C# 3.0 Syntax in .NET 2.0?

Also, at Stackoverflow: C# .NET 3.0/3.5 features in 2.0 using Visual Studio 2008

.NET 3.x features are built upon 2.0. Have you tried adding System.Core as a reference?

Extension methods and lambda expressions, at least, are available when targeting .NET 2.0 - see C# .NET 3.0/3.5 features in 2.0 using Visual Studio 2008.

Convince your employer to update and allow you to target 3.5. Other than that your out of luck i think,
