How do I select the target framework of a CodeDom compiler using C#?

Question

So I have a CodeDOM compiler written in C# that's supposed to compile another application based on one of its resources. How would I change the target .NET framework of the resource (or of the outputted executable of the compiler)?

That depends on the compiler.

You could pass options to the compiler using the following constructor:

var providerOptions = new Dictionary<string, string>();
providerOptions.Add("CompilerVersion", "v3.5");
var compiler = new CSharpCodeProvider(providerOptions);

You would need to specify it in a dictionary of settings for the compiler, such as:

var settings = new Dictionary<string,string>();
settings.Add("CompilerVersion", "v3.5");
var compiler = new CSharpCodeProvider(settings);

Unsurprisingly, Google already brings up a couple of examples of this, too; here and here.
