How does one select the .NET 4.0 Client profile for C++/CLI under VS2010?

NET Framework 4.0. Navigate to the Project toolbar item, and then select Properties (Application properties). In the Application tab, change the Target framework to . NET Framework 4.
NET Framework 4 Client Profile is a subset of the . NET Framework 4 that is optimized for client applications. It provides functionality for most client applications, including Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), Windows Forms, Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), and ClickOnce features.
After experimenting with a C# project, I found that manually adding a TargetFrameworkProfile node to the vcxproj file seems to do the trick.
Procedure:
1) Using a plaintext editor, open the vcxproj
2) Find the PropertyGroup node
3) Find the TargetFrameworkVersion node under PropertyGroup
4) Add a TargetFrameworkProfile node as shown in this snippet:
<PropertyGroup Label="Globals">
...
<TargetFrameworkVersion>v4.0</TargetFrameworkVersion>
<TargetFrameworkProfile>Client</TargetFrameworkProfile>
...
After saving the vcxproj file and reloading the project inside Visual Studio, open the project's Properties and select Common Properties. The Targeted framwework will now display "Profile=Client"
