Hi @Sachin N ,
Check the warning 'This Project is targeting a varsion of .NET which is not installed' in Solution Explorer
Try below steps:

1. Open your visual studio ----> open your project ------> go to your solution explorer and double click on your project ---> change Target framework To (net472)----->
2. Again go to your solution explorer and click right on your project and click on properties and change the target framework to 4.7.2
   Best Regards.
