Working with the .NET Framework version 4.7

Posted: (EET/GMT+2)

 

About a month ago, Microsoft announced and made available .NET Framework version 4.7. So far, I've migrated several .NET applications to the latest version, and this has worked very well.

Basically, all you need to do is open your project(s) in Visual Studio, and then open the properties window of the project. Then, simply change target framework setting to .NET Framework 4.7, and rebuild your solution. Then, it's time to test.

Depending on from which previous .NET Framework version your are migrating, you might also need to update your NuGet packages. Most often, this is completely automatic, but sometimes, you might need to edit your packages.config file manually.
