Azure Function v2 .NET framework?

Question

We currently have deployed a V1 Azure Function and are looking to upgrade this to V2[preview]. However I can\'t see any way to target .NET Framework 4.6.1 at the moment, onl

Answer 1

The Function Runtime in v2 only runs on .NET Core 2.0, so there is no way to target .NET Framework 4.6.1.

Answer 2

Using Visual Studio 2017 Preview 2, I was able to create a 4.61 Azure Functions Library.

    <TargetFramework>net461</TargetFramework>

PLEASE NOTE (future readers) this is subject to change as time goes by and the "preview" becomes integrated into the "real" VS2017.
