Multi - targeting not working properly.

Hello.

I recently started a WPF project in .NET 3.5. Since then I learned that the
target arhitecture does not support .NET 3.5, only .Net 3.0. I continued by
changing the target framework to .NET 3.0 in the project application
settings. Although all seemed fine on the development machine I since
realized that downgrading from .Net 3.5 to .NET 3.0 does nothing.

Once I deploy my application to a windows machine that only has .net 3.0 on
it, it would crash. Further investigation revield that downgrading from 3.5
to 3.0 somehow does not prevent you from using features only present in 3.5.

Do I have it all wrong?

I would really like to know. This does not seem like something that is hard
to test so I am unsure as to why multi targeting is so hyped when it is
actually useless.
