multi-targeting

Multi-targeting on WindowsForum.com refers to the ability to build applications that target a specific version of the .NET Framework, such as 4.6 or 4.6.1 RC, using development tools like Visual Studio. The multi-targeting pack enables developers to compile code against a particular framework version even if a newer version is installed. This is essential for ensuring compatibility and leveraging framework-specific features. Additionally, the term appears in a context where users seek to create shortcuts that dynamically select from multiple file targets, though this usage is less common. The tag primarily covers developer-focused discussions around .NET multi-targeting packs and their installation prerequisites.
