Update Projects to Target .NET 3.5

Posted in visual studio by Sydney du Plooy on August 21, 2008

Having two solutions that total 98 projects is not my kind of a joke to update manually to target .NET Framework 3.5. With my rifle in hand, I decided to hunt down a utility / macro / script that would let me do this with relative ease. Behold the grass blades opened and there it was. A macro that will update all the projects in a solution to the .NET Framework 3.5.

Scott Dorman was kind enough to spend some time to write a macro that can be found here. To install it simply copy the macro to: <UserProfile>\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\VSMacros80\MyMacros. Open the Visual Studio Macro IDE (Alt-F11) and add it as an existing item to the “MyMacros” project.

Click the play button in the Macro IDE and all your projects will be updated to target the .NET Framework 3.5.

Thank you Scott!
