I read a post from a member of the .NET Framework Team stating that VS Express for Windows now supports Portable Class Libraries. I can't confirm this particular claim, because I have Windows 7 on my laptop and apparently VS Express for Windows only runs on Windows 8 and above.
But, since I have some Portable Class Libraries (created using VS Ultimate) from my desktop, I'd like to know: Is there a free version of VS that supports the PCL project type and runs on Windows 7 so I can continue my work when I'm away from my main computer?
No, there's not currently an Express version of Visual Studio that supports Portable Class Libraries and runs on Windows 7.
