What version of C# are you using?

If you use C#? Where I work, we're still on C# [edit] 4 [/edit] 5, with C# 6 or 7 "not in the foreseeable future." X| :elephant: 'ing archaic. Just found out the remote build only targets C# 4. :laugh:

Regardless of the version, are you capable of performing the tasks assigned? Yes, newer version may have newer features, but are they necessary to perform the task?

Any real programmer should be capable of performing any task in pure assembly language. That being said, just because one can/is capable, doesn't mean he should.

c# 4, 5 and 6. We are not using 7 yet

I am currently using C#7 for my project. Though the "cool" features don't come in play much. Also, with a newer tech. people look for excuses to use the newer feature even when a more familiar way would have sufficed.

My favorites are the null continuation and tuple features. :jig:

What's broken is we're all using VS 2015 but the remote build process is still building with C# 4. So, if you don't remember to set the "use C# version" under build -> advanced to 4.0, it's easy to write a lot of code using C# 5 or 6 features, only to discover the remote build fails. Or worse, as in my case, you find a snazzy open source package that uses C# 6.0 syntax.

4.5.1 though the next project will be .Net Core 2. Oh joy.

It's a few weeks old now. Can't believe you did not notice.

I freelance, so I'm using 7.1 :)

2017/7 I like the ValueTuple struct facility, and am enjoying exploring the other features the way a one-eyed cat looks in a seafood store :
«While I complain of being able to see only a shadow of the past, I may be insensitive to reality as it is now, since I'm not at a stage of development where I'm capable of seeing it. A few hundred years later another traveler despairing as myself, may mourn the disappearance of what I may have seen, but failed to see.» Claude Levi-Strauss (Tristes Tropiques, 1955)

In the short term these questions are reasonable. In the long term? Not so much. The more any IDE/framework/package/library/etc ages, the less likely it is to upgrade cleanly when jumping multiple versions. Old features are deprecated and later removed, etc., forcing extensive rework. As Murphy says, pretty much anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. "well, just re-write it!" Every time someone says that I roll my eyes. It's rarely that simple. All too often the organization is either behind or barely keeping up on current things, so adding a rewrite in just doesn't fit. Ideally I agree with re-writing, but my idealism died a long time ago ... On the other hand, starting with a relatively new version of everything is a good choice. It puts off the need to upgrade longer than starting with older version(s). When the newest version becomes stable (in the case of Microsoft, after the 2nd service pack is released :) ) compile the program in the new version. If the compile is clean, keep it. If it's not clean, look at the problems and triage. Another reason for keeping current is hiring. Need new people? Good luck finding someone good who wants to work in technology that is 3 to 5 revs back. Been there, it truly sucks to find an excellent candidate with all the right skills and great references ... who looks at me like I'm nuts when I tell 'em what versions that company mandated. :doh: My current project is VS2015, C# 6, .NET 4.6. Once the project goes to Production, we'll evaluate if going to VS2017/C# 7/.NET 4.6.2 is a good idea. We will not upgrade in mid-development -- there's nothing in the newer version we need although we know we don't need the headache of a mid-stream upgrade. Once the product goes to production we'll evaluate the newer versions. It is likely that the next project will be VS2017/etc., although at this time CORE is not on the plate as we don't need it.
