Channel 9 Interview: Multi-Targeting Deep Dive (Beth Massi, Spotty Bowles)

Beth Massi

I’m back with Spotty Bowles, a tester on the VB compiler team, shows us the ins and outs of how multi-targeting works in Visual Basic projects in Visual Studio 2010 in this Channel 9 interview:

Channel 9 Interview: Multi-Targeting Deep Dive with Visual Basic 2010

What’s tricky in Visual Studio 2010 is that there are now two supported versions of the CLR. Spotty shows us how to work with client and full framework profiles in Visual Studio, as well as what happens at runtime when referenced class libraries target a different profile. He also shows us how to use some of the new VB10 language features when down targeting to 2.0, and how to specify down targeting from the build command line.
