Is there any guidance on converting existing .NET class libraries to portable libraries?

Question

I have some class libraries with a non-trivial amount of existing code. The class libraries currently target .NET 4.0. Is there any guidance on how to convert these librarie

Answer 1

We also converted existing libraries to portable libraries and it works fine. You have to modify the project file. Replace the following line:

with

Add following line inside a PropertyGroup tag

{786C830F-07A1-408B-BD7F-6EE04809D6DB};{FAE04EC0-301F-11D3-BF4B-00C04F79EFBC}

And remove following lines from the AssemblyInfo.cs file

[assembly: ComVisible(false)]
[assembly: Guid("...")]

After that, Visual Studio should show you the Tab page "Library" in the project Property page and you can change the target frameworks for the portable library.
