.Net 3 apps require .net 2?

If in visual studio I compile an app to .net 3 and dont use any of the new features do I require .net 3 on a server or .net 2?

Thanks

Why compile against 3.0 if you don't use any of its features? Anyway, it should work fine with just 2.0 too if I understand it correctly.

You are right, it is a bit of a pointless thing to do, just more of a what if questions - anyway thanks for the quick reply.
