i want to enable TLS 1.2 in Visual Studio 2013(Framework 4.5), i am using third party web api url  in my application so today i got mail from api owner like below.

 

If you are using any of the following programming languages, you need to update them to effectively communicate with our API: 

• Java 6u45

• Java 7u25

• OpenSSL 0.9.8y

• .NET 4.5 and below

• .NET 4.5 (settings should be changed to enable TLS 1.2)

So i am using .NET 4.5

The openly published documentation recommends targeting .NET 4.7+.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/network-programming/tls

The documentation also explains how to handle TLS 1.2 in earlier version of .NET if upgrading to the latest framework is not an option.
