Running TFS Build with C# 6.0 features

Running TFS Build with C# 6.0 features

If you are using TFS Build and want to use C# 6.0 features, such as string interpolation, you will need to configure your build process to use the correct version of the C# compiler.

Here's how you can configure TFS Build to use the C# 6.0 compiler:

  • Add the following property to your .csproj file:
<LangVersion>6</LangVersion>

This property sets the language version of the C# compiler to version 6.

  • Install the Microsoft.Net.Compilers NuGet package in your project. This package provides the C# 6.0 compiler.

  • Modify your TFS Build process to restore NuGet packages before building the solution.

  • Update the build agent to use the latest version of the .NET Framework, which includes support for C# 6.0.

  • Verify that the build process is using the correct version of the C# compiler by checking the build log for any errors related to C# 6.0 features.

If you are using a custom build script or build process, you will need to modify it to include the steps above.

Note that if you are using a version of TFS earlier than TFS 2015, you may need to install Visual Studio 2015 or later on the build agent to get support for C# 6.0 features.
