Solution platform explained

[kurt sune]

Can anyone point to a place/source that details the various differences
between the "Solution Platforms" targets that exists by default in VS.NET
2005?
- .NET
- Any CPU
- Mixed Platforms



The only googling result I got is

ms-help://MS.VSCC.v80/MS.MSDN.v80/MS.VisualStudio.v80.en/dv_cscomp/html/c29­
0ff5e-47f4-4a85-9bb3-9c2525b0be04.htm


and I cannot find that page.

The link you found is to your internal documentation in the Visual Studio
tool itself.

Note that the notion of Solution Platforms is that you (or anyone else) can
write a compiler that is "command line compatible" with csc.exe and you can
create platform entries that allow the environment to call your compiler.
The attached link contains a reasonably complete set of entries that allows
Visual Studio to create for Mono and Linux in addition to the traditional
set.

The MSDN blogger who may be the most knowledgable is Jomo Fisher

I hope this helps.
