net461中的目标x86

Question

I'm building a .NET Core Web Application that needs to run on an x86 platform . Currently, I'm using net461. I guess by default, the application is targeting win7-x64. I'm using Visual Studio 2015.

How do I change it to x86?

Things I've tried:

I tried listing x86 as the Active solution platform (didn't work):

I tried listed win10-x86 as the runtime in the project.json file (didn't work):

"frameworks": {
    "net461": {}
},
"runtimes": {
    "win10-x86": {}
}

Any help greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

I believe what you were changing is just for debugging in different frameworks, not actually changing the target framework.

Now there are a few different ways to do this, but I'll include the way MSDN recommends in this link: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms185328.aspx

1. Go to Build menu and select Configuration Manager.

2. Select the Platform dropdown click "New"

3. Select the desired platform from the drop down.

I hope that helps! =)
