I have installed .net 4.5 framework from http://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=30653

After installing the 4.5 framework I restarted the machine. In vs 2010 if any new project is created by default 4.0 framework is assigned in project properties Application->Target framework is assigned as .NET Framework 4.0. But I want to change to 4.5 framework. But 4.5 framework is not listed.

My question is , should i do some settings changes to list 4.5 framework in vs2010 or i can't develope any app using .net 4.5 in vs2010?

Thanks Saran

No, you can't target .NET 4.5 with VS2010 the same way you couldn't target .NET 4.0 with VS2008. You will need to install VS2012 if you want to target .NET 4.5.
