Changing target framework in Visual Studio 2008

Question

Hi, What's the deal with VS?...I tried importing the Caching App Block and got the message...the assembly or one of it's dependencies your are trying to import requires a later version of .NET Framework......

I went to the properties of my app in VS, but I can't find the dropdown to switch....what's the deal?

Thanks

Answer 1

Found it....went to "Advanced Compile Options" on Compile Tab.....wierd!

Answer 2

It should be on the Application tab in the project's properties. Here is a great article on how VS2008 handles framework targeting.

Answer 3

Go to the properties of a project (Solution Explorer --> Project --> Properties or Menu Bar --> Project --> Properties) and on the Application tab you'll see Target Framework.

Answer 4

I think they make it different for C# project and VB project.

C# project

Solution Explorer --> Project --> Properties and on the Application tab you'll see Target Framework.

VB project

Project Properties --> Compile --> Advanced Compile Options
