VB.NET Lambda Expressions

If I have Visual Studio 2008 and am targeting a .NET 2.0 application, can I use Lambda expressions? My understanding of Lambda expressions is that its function is built into the compiler, not the framework, so I would conclude that I can use Lambda in a .NET 2.0 application. Can someone please tell me if so?

Yes, it is fully supported. Until you create an expression tree or refer to System.Core, System.Xml.Linq, etc., it is completely legal to use lambda expressions in an application with a specific purpose of 2.0. This applies to any other compiler function introduced in VS2008 (VB9).

EDIT

Several answers incorrectly state that Lambda Expressions is a 3.5 or 3.0 feature. Lambda expressions are a compiler function, not a Framework. They don’t need the support of the framework to work, and it’s quite legal to use them in an application down aimed at 2.0.
