using Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk in projects using .NET Framework 4.6.1

Hello,

I have an existing solution in place that contains multiple projects. I need to use the Microsoft CRM SDK in two of these projects. These two projects use version 4.6.1 of the .NET framework for specific purposes. For that reason, I can't change the version of .NET used by these projects. However, I do need CRM integration.

At this time, when I reference the any of the following namespaces, I get a "The type or namespace name '...' does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft' (are you missing an assembly reference?) error. This error appears when I reference any of the following namespaces:

Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk;
Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Client;
Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Query;
Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Metadata;
Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Messages;

Microsoft.Crm.Sdk.Messages;

I referenced the assemblies in my projects based on what's described here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg334455.aspx

How do I use the CRM SDK in a project that uses .NET 4.6.1?

    Use the latest SDK assemblies from NuGet: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.CrmSdk.CoreAssemblies/

    They will work with .NET 4.6.1
