# [netfx4sdk](https://github.com/3F/netfx4sdk)
An attempt to provide *.NET Framework 4.0* Developer Pack (SDK) support for modern Visual Studio / MSBuild / etc.
Two modes! Pure batch-scripts! Portable and Flexible (changes can be easily undone) ! Free and Open !
Based on [hMSBuild](https://github.com/3F/hMSBuild) + [GetNuTool](https://github.com/3F/GetNuTool)

## Why netfx4sdk
*netfx4sdk* allows you to use easily a deprecated SDK for modern toolsets and IDEs such as VS2022+ / MSBuild 17+ / and other tools without installing any other outdated versions of Visual Studio.
Microsoft officially dropped support of the **Developer Pack** (SDK) for .NET Framework 4.0. Now it can only be a **Runtime** version: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/visual-studio-sdks
Means you [can't simply **build** anything](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/3Fs/vssolutionbuildevent/builds/42027332#L121) along with pure VS2022 (e.g. [VM image, clean VS2022 env](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/3Fs/vssolutionbuildevent/builds/42027332#L121))
> MSB3644: The reference assemblies for .NETFramework,Version=v4.0 were not found. To resolve this, **install the Developer Pack** (SDK/Targeting Pack) for this framework version or retarget your application. You can (\*no, you can't) download .NET Framework Developer Packs at https://aka.ms/msbuild/developerpacks
But *netfx4sdk* will try to eliminate this artificial limitation by a single command,
* Here's [**result**](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/3Fs/vssolutionbuildevent/builds/42060343#L6) using *netfx4sdk 1.0* for the same clean VS2022 VM image above.
## Usage
`-mode sys` - Hack using assemblies for windows. Highly *recommended* because
* [++] All modules are under windows support.
* [+] It does not require internet connection (portable).
* [+] No decompression required (faster) compared to package mode.
* [-] This is behavior-based hack;
`-mode package` will try to apply obsolete package to the environment.
* [-] Officially dropped support since VS2022.
* [-] Requires internet connection to receive ~30 MB via GetNuTool.
* [-] Requires decompression of received data to 178 MB before use.
* [+] Well known official behavior.
### Arguments
```bat
-mode {value}
* system - (Recommended) Hack using assemblies for windows.
* package - Apply obsolete remote package. Read [About modes] below.
* sys - Alias to `system`
* pkg - Alias to `package`

-rollback - Rollback applied modifications.
-global - To use the global toolset, like hMSBuild.
-pkg-version {arg} - Specific package version. Where {arg}:
* 1.0.3 ...
* latest - (keyword) To use latest version;
-debug - To show debug information.
-version - Display version of netfx4sdk.cmd.
-help - Display this help. Aliases: -help -h -?
```
