Visual Studio 2010 is due to be released on April 12, 2010 and offers many new and useful features (to be detailed in future posts).
Consider upgrading to this release as soon as you can.
If you must continue to use .NET Framework 3.5, you can still upgrade to Visual Studio 2010. By default, when you upgrade a Visual Studio 2008 project that targets .NET Framework 3.5, the new Visual Studio 2010 project will continue to target the .NET Framework 3.5.
So you can have all of the cool features of the new editor without having to upgrade the .NET Framework for all of your users.
When you are ready to move to the .NET Framework 4.0, follow these steps…
In C#:
- Double-click on Properties under the project in Solution Explorer.
- Select the Application tab.
- Select .NET Framework 4 from the Target framework list as shown below.
In VB:
- Double-click on My Project under the project in Solution Explorer.
- Select the Compile tab.
- Click on the Advanced Compile Options button at the bottom of the page.
- Select .NET Framework 4 from the Target framework list as shown below.
Use these steps any time you want to review or set the framework to target for your application.
Enjoy!
