Description

Describe the feature you'd like

I'd like to be able to update the target framework using the solution explorer, similar to how I would in VS.
The ability to right click on the project in solution explorer, have a properties option that maybe leads to vs code settings or guides me through the quick pick, and allows me to select the framework I'd like to target and then have that automatically updated and saved within the .csproj file
