I freelance, so I'm using 7.1 :)

Aye, as do I with my side-freelance projects. :)

You think you have it rough, try using C# 7 while your projects target .NET Framework 2.0 or 3.0 ...

Ugh. :(

I am still using the version of C# that is installed with Visual Studio 2015/SP3 for my military simulation development. For all intents and purposes, whether it is for business, game development, serious simulations, or scientifics, and internals, there is nothing really critically important in any of the new C# versions coming out. Most new features are either different ways of doing the same things that were being done previously or some fine-tuned optimizations, few of which will be really noticeable. That being said, if a new version of C# is released with a feature that is sorely needed for a specific requirement than an upgrade should be considered. Other than that, upgrading simply allows the developer to say he or she is using the latest version...

Well, I'm noticing some open source projects that specifically target C# 7, like MoreLinq, though I suppose NuGet would resolve that, but I like to be able to build the latest OS code.

Then again, the military probably frowns on using open source packages?

Hah. Actually yeah. As I get older I realized living too much behind a computer makes your life worse not better. Well, that and I'm looking for a job... again. Because my last contract crapped out. So when in job hunt mode I tend not to do stuff like visit CP. I like the :sunshine:!

What about security? Where I am working, we absolutely need to keep up with the latest versions of the .NET runtime and JVM because of security issues in older versions (yes, and patch the newer versions). I am currently working with VS 2015 update 3 but will move to 2017 as the software engineering organization moves to it.

The IT department hasn't a clue. Oh sure, things are "secured" all over the place, requiring hoops to get access to a particular database or internal website. But that's about the extent of it. I'll have to add that to the "why we should upgrade the build server" reasons. Thanks!

C# 7.1. But I'm doing a "staff upgrade" on myself. The thing about new language features is not so much what one feature can add, but how together they change the way you code and think about solutions.

Yes!!!!

Marc: The new projects you mention that are targeting a specific C# platform are actually targeting that version of the .NET Framework that has that level of C#, since they are one and the same. As a result, you would have to install that version of the .NET Framework for the version of C# you are looking for...

Yes, that thought occurred to me as I was driving to the grocery store. :)

HOWEVER, if you have Visual Studio installed, BE VERY CAREFUL how you upgrade the .NET Framework. You must use an update specific for the Visual Studio version you are using or you could have serious issues with the IDE. I learned this the hard way... :(
