I currently have a Portable Class Library whose code is entirely compatible with a regular Class Library without any modification.
I was wondering if there was an existing software to do the conversion automatically ; I looked into the Visual Studio tools but could not find any suitable. Before writing my own I just wanted to be sure!
The differences will be in your .proj file.
Having tried it myself you will have to do all of the following;
- Remove the
<TargetFrameworkProfile>element - Remove the
<ProjectTypeGuids>element - Change where you have #2 (below) for what I shown in #1
1. Regular class library
<Import Project="$(MSBuildToolsPath)\Microsoft.CSharp.targets" />
2. Portable class library
<Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath32)\Microsoft\Portable\$(TargetFrameworkVersion)\Microsoft.Portable.CSharp.targets" />
Use VSCommands, it has as a build in functionality to convert Projects to PCL. Right mouse click on Project and convert. It´s free and part of Visual Studio extensions http://vscommands.squaredinfinity.com/Features-SolutionExplorer
Update 2016-10-12: Above link is dead. The tool has been rewritten for Visual Studio 2015 and can be found here: https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/c84be782-b1f1-4f6b-85bb-945ebc852aa1
