I have a client that is running the .net 2.0 framework sp1. I am developing a Winforms app for them and can't install a more recent version because of their IT mandates. Can I use WPF and/or LINQ with the .net 2.0 framework sp1? Can I bin deploy the dlls? Know of any articles, booksor samples that describe this? Thanks in advance, Dan

You ~can~ use (at least some) LINQ and target .net 2.0 framework sp1 (though I've found some things problematic). You cannot use WPF, though, since the WPF libraries are part of the newer frameworks.

Try setting up VS 2008 to target .NET 2.0 in your project. It should give you errors/warnings if you use something that won't work on the 2.0 framework.
