Changing the product type of an existing project

This task describes how to use the Target System command to change the product type of an existing project.

  1. On the Project tab of the ribbon, in the Settings group, click Target System. A list of available product types is displayed.
  2. In the list, select the new product type of the project. The product type determines how many tags your project will support, among other things. For more information, see About target platforms and product types.
The project is converted to the selected product type.
Note: If you changed from a Windows target platform to a Windows Embedded target platform, then some project features will no longer be available.
