# CMAKE_DOTNET_TARGET_FRAMEWORK

Added in version 3.17.

Default value for `DOTNET_TARGET_FRAMEWORK` property of targets.

This variable is used to initialize the `DOTNET_TARGET_FRAMEWORK` property on all targets. See that target property for additional information.

Setting `CMAKE_DOTNET_TARGET_FRAMEWORK` may be necessary when working with `C#` and newer .NET framework versions to avoid referencing errors with the `ALL_BUILD` CMake target.

This variable is only evaluated for Visual Studio Generators VS 2010 and above.
