New Post: Not compatible with .Net 2.0

Hi, no, not using the source code, but including the binaries through NuGet. Here's the recipe:

1. In Vs2010, create a new console application.
2. Go to project properties, and set the target framework to .net 2.0
3. Remove all references from the project (and using statements in program.cs).
4. Right-click the project, manage nuget packages, search for HtmlAgilityPack and install (version 1.4.5)
5. Now build and you get the following output.

ConsoleApplication1 -> C:\Projects\ConsoleApplication1\ConsoleApplication1\bin\Debug\ConsoleApplication1.exe

========== Build: 1 succeeded or up-to-date, 0 failed, 0 skipped ==========

So it seems that when the binary was built, it had .net 4.0 versions of mscorlib, system, system.xml, system.configuration, system.data.sqlxml and system.security as references to the project.
