64 bit .NET Framework and C#

[RJ]

Availability of C# wasn't clearly stated on the XP 64 website. Can
Visual Studio 2005 compile C# code to 64bit executable? Can you do the
compile on XP to generate the exe for XP64? Do you have to compile on
XP64 to get XP64 executable? Can VS2005 run on XP64 or is there only a
command line C# compiler? All I see on the web is info about C++ for
XP64.

Yes, but as a 32-bit process.
