.NET Framework requirements for plugins

Since .NET 4.0 is no longer current and VS2022 won't support it out of the box, I'm upgrading my toolchains for development. What is the .NET Framework version I need to target for vPilot - is it still 4.0 or something newer?

Cheers!

It's still 4.0, I haven't moved it to .NET Core yet. I plan to, but that'll be a ways off.

I was hoping for something newer in the 4.x stream, but I guess I'll keep VS2019 around for a little longer. Thanks!

Sorry, I thought you were asking about the major version of the framework. vPilot targets 4.8. However, my test plugin project targets 3.5 and it loads fine.

Note that I use VS2022 for all my projects, including those that target framework 3.5 and even 2.0.

Do you have earlier versions of VS installed? I found that I could not target .NET 4.0 unless I had VS2019 installed.

Yeah, I do have 2019 installed. How about 4.8? Maybe you can just install the targeting pack?
