Be careful drop down list version information “.NET framework 4.5”.

Step 4: Now we have to follow the same steps to design Data Access Layer as we done to accomplish to Presentation layer “TC.CRM.DLL”.  We have to select “Visual C#” then click on “Windows” now on middle section select “Class Library”, type “Name” of layer “TC.CRM.DLL”, select folder option on “Location”, you may set “Location” with click on “Browse…” button.
