How Can I Use C# 6.0 Features in Visual Studio 2013?

Enabling C# 6.0 in Visual Studio 2013

A developer encountered compatibility issues when trying to use new C# 6.0 features (like auto property initializers) in Visual Studio 2013. Visual Studio 2013 doesn't inherently support C# 6.0, so here's how to add that support:

The solution is to install the necessary compilers via NuGet packages. This allows using C# 6.0 code without upgrading to Visual Studio 2015 or modifying your build server.

Follow these steps:

<code>Install-Package Microsoft.Net.Compilers</code>

After installation, you can write and build C# 6.0 code. However, Visual Studio 2013 might still show errors because it doesn't natively understand the new syntax. If you use ReSharper, you can enable C# 6.0 support project-by-project using the option "Enable C# 6.0 support for this project."

For full C# 6.0 support in MVC Razor views, install this additional package:

<code>Install-Package Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform</code>

For the best experience and complete C# 6.0 functionality, consider upgrading to Visual Studio 2015.
