I am trying to provide my library for multiple framework versions of .NET (4.0 is relevant for this question).
My library requires async/await support and therefore the nuget package "Microsoft.Bcl.Async" is required. But i only want to reference it in .NET 4.0 builds, but not in >= .NET 4.5
Are there any easy ways to accomplish this goal?
Install nuget packages based on compiler flags / Target framework

Install nuget packages based on compiler flags / Target framework
To resolve this issue, you could use the PackageReference instead of packages.config in project files.
Tools->Options->NuGet Package Manager->General->Package Management->PackageReference
Then add the nuget package to the project, we could add a PackageReference condition to the nuget package, like:
<ItemGroup>
<!-- ... -->
<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Bcl.Async" Version="1.0.168" Condition="'$(TargetFramework)' == 'net40'" />
<!-- ... -->
</ItemGroup>
Check the document Adding a PackageReference condition for some more details.
