Hello every time I try to build my project I get these 2 errors.

targets '.NETStandard,Version=v1.5'. It cannot be referenced by a project that targets '.NETFramework,Version=v4.0'

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\MSBuild\Sdks\Microsoft.Net.Sdk\build\Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Common.targets  73

How do I change this error.

Thank you

Hi friend,

Change project targets framework to .netframework 4.5 or above.

Project name -> properties-> application:

Please let us know if it works.

Best regards,

Fletcher
