Hi Everyone,
I realize that Visual Studio 2010 is not supposed to be able to build
apps targeting .NET 4.5, but I've come across something on Stack Overflow
that seems to indicate something to the contrary:
=============================================================================
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12390175/targeting-net-framework-4-5-via-visual-studio-2010
I have been struggling with VS2010/DNFW 4.5 integration and have finally got this working.
Starting in VS 2008, a cache of assemblies was introduced that is used by Visual Studio
called the "Referenced Assemblies". This file cache for VS 2010 is located at
\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework.NetFramework\v4.0. Visual Studio loads framework
assemblies from this location instead of from the framework installation directory. When
Microsoft says that VS 2010 does not support DNFW 4.5 what they mean is that this directory
does not get updated when DNFW 4.5 is installed. Once you have replace the files in this
location with the updated DNFW 4.5 files, you will find that VS 2010 will happily function
with DNFW 4.5.
=============================================================================
Has anyone ever tried this?
I cannot find the folder with the "Referenced Assemblies" on my box.
Does anyone know where it might be located?
Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated.
Wally
