Warning! The main solution file is configured to build the project using .NET 4.5 (most widely adopted version) but Maestrano also supports .NET4 If you are compiling the library with the view to package it and push it to NuGet (online package manager) then you MUST also open the Maestrano.Net40.SLN Solution file and compile the project again. The .NET45 version binary will be dropped in: <project-folder>\bin\Release\net45 he .NET40 binary will be dropped in: <project-folder>\bin\Release\net45 Note: there are ways to compile both in one go but it's really annoying to setup... |
