Specify .NET Framework Target for a Project

We specify a specific .NET Framework target while creating a new project or change it later. For a new project, i.e after a New Project dialog box appear (by clicking Project on the File menu, New Project), we select the .NET Framework version we want from a drop down list.

To change a .NET Framework version:
1. Locate the Project Designer, by right click on a project in the Solution Explorer, then click Properties.

2a. For C#, on the Application tab, locate Target Framework and select .NET Framework version.

2b. For VB, click Compile tab on the Project Designer then click Advanced Compile Options.. from drop down list to choose .NET Framework version.
