How to check if entity framework 5 is running with .net framework 4.5 <p>I am confusing if entity framework 5 is based on .net framework 4.5 or .net framework 4.0 in my project, because when I added ef5 to my project from nuget, it shows the run time version is v4.0.30319 as in attached image. (I assume it should be v4.5.50709?)</p> <p>In the project settings, the targeted framework is correctly set to .Net Framework 4.5 and I am using visual studio 2012.</p> <p>If it is not using .net framework 4.5. How I can do to make sure it is using .net framework 4.5? Thanks for your help. </p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/cLfNL.png" alt="here"></p>
