title: How do I find the .NET version used in an existing project?
body: <p>I am expected to continue development on a C#/ASP.NET project that has changed hands multiple times, and no one person is sure which version of .NET is being used.</p>
  
  <p>Is there something (perhaps an option in Project properties or elsewhere) that tells me which version of .NET the project uses? </p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT :</strong></p>
  
  <p>The project's hosted on a remote server (an ancient one!) which runs on Windows Server 2003, and uses Visual Studio 2005. I checked the Web.config file, and under <code>&lt;system.web&gt;</code>, I found <code>&lt;compilation debug="true"&gt;</code> but no entry for <code>targetFramework</code> ! 
  <br/>Does the existence of this entry depend on the .NET version too? Is this 2.x or older?</p>
