### AssetTargetFallback

The `AssetTargetFallback` property lets you specify additional compatible framework versions for projects that your project references and NuGet packages that your project consumes. For example, if you specify a package dependency using `PackageReference` but that package doesn't contain assets that are compatible with your projects's `TargetFramework`, the `AssetTargetFallback` property comes into play. The compatibility of the referenced package is rechecked using each target framework that's specified in `AssetTargetFallback`.

You can set the `AssetTargetFallback` property to one or more [target framework versions](../../standard/frameworks.md#supported-target-framework-versions).

```xml
<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
...
<PropertyGroup>
<AssetTargetFallback>net461</AssetTargetFallback>
</PropertyGroup>
