I am trying to determine the version of the .NET framework that a dll is using. I have targeted 3.5 in my app but when I open the dll with ildasm.exe (on my dev PC with 3.5 installed), it says it is using "Metadata version: v2.0.50727" which is it really using?

The CLR version is v2.0.50727 - this hasn't changed for .NET 3.5.

.NET 3.5 has added some DLLs and language support for C# 3.0, but the runtime has not changed.

Thanks for the clarification. I guess the next question I would have is what actually happens when you "target" the 3.5 framework in VS, what does that actually do?
You should ask that as another question then ;)
