Use Roslyn Workspace Api to get the target framework

Is it possible to get a .NET Visual Studio Project's Target framework using Roslyn's Workspace API.

Testing ASP.NET Core app using Protractor in Visual Studio 2017

I've got a asp.net core application which uses angular4 as client frontend and asp.net core for the service api. I've had end-to-end unit-testing up and running while using Visual Studio 2015.
Since I switched to Visual Studio 2017 I can't get the tests to use protractor anymore.
First problem: For protractor I need the full .net framework, for hosting my app I want to use .NetCoreApp 1.1. And Visual Studio 2017 does only support using one Framework. There are tricks by editing the proj-file, but even then I could not even compile my test project to use protractor.
So: Has anyone been able to run unit Tests using protractor in Visual Studio 2017? Any pointers about it, maybe you can point me to a website containing a sample?

How can I create a .NET 4.0 web service project in Visual Studio 2010 Pro?

The Web Services template isn't in the .NET 4.0 projects list--only .NET 3.5, but my service needs to depend on a .NET 4.0 assembly with my model/database functions. That assembly depends on 4.0, because of the data provider required (dotConnect for MySQL)
The web service will need a reference to this business logic assembly so it can pass its arguments to said assembly and blindly return. But, can I run the web services project in a .NET 4.0 application pool without any problems with the data provider?
I have Visual Studio 2010 Professional, not Ultimate (which I've read has the template)--is there any way around this?
In 4.0 you have the WCF framework. Try this one.
