Can't find "Target framework" option in VS2010 VB Project

Question

I have created a new VB.NET Windows Forms Application.

In VS2010 I click the project settings, and I see the regular tabs "Application", "Build", "Build events", etc.

But under tab "Application", there is no option named "Target framework" like in the following shot:

It is simply not there for me. Instead the option "Application type" is shown at that location.

What am I doing wrong?

Your screenshot shows where the option exists for C# projects. For VB projects, you can follow the MSDN directions here:

• How to: Target a Specific .NET Framework Version or Profile

Basically:

• Compile Tab -> Advanced Compile Options...
