I have two projects:
1) a project written in Visual C++ 2005 which targets the .net Framework 2.0.
2) a project in Visual C# 2010 that targets .net framework 2.0 and includes the C++ DLL.
When I build the C# project referencing the C++ assembly, I get errors like:
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Microsoft.Common.targets(1360,9): warning MSB3258: The primary reference "ScannerWizard" could not be resolved because it has an indirect dependency on the .NET Framework assembly "mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" which has a higher version "4.0.0.0" than the version "2.0.0.0" in the current target framework.

If I make the project 4.0, it doesn't give those errors. Obviously, I shouldn't have to make it target 4.0 to use a 2.0 assembly.
Any idea on how I can fix this?
