I am trying to target .NET 4.6 and also take advantage of the latest C# version by changing the C# language version to 6.
However during compilation I got this error:
Error Invalid option '6' for /langversion; must be ISO-1, ISO-2, 3, 4, 5 or Default
If I update the /langversion:6
in Web.Config setting to 5 it works,
<system.codedom>
<compilers>
<compiler language="c#;cs;csharp" extension=".cs" type="Microsoft.CSharp.CSharpCodeProvider, System, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" warningLevel="4" compilerOptions="/langversion:6 /nowarn:1659;1699;1701">
But how do I resolve this without resorting to lower language version?
I am using Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition, and I have also installed .NET Framework 4.6 manually just in case it was not installed by default by Visual Studio 2015.
The project is a standard ASP.NET MVC template project created by Visual Studio 2015.
Pay attention to compiler "type" in the Web.Config
file, when changing Framework version:
for 4.5 and C#5 -
type="Microsoft.CSharp.CSharpCodeProvider...
for 4.6 and C#6 -
type="Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform.CSharpCodeProvider, Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"
Update the following NuGet packages (whichever installed) to resolve the problem:
1.Go to Project and select your Project properties.
2 Select Build and Click Advanced Button.
3.Select Language Version default.
4.Save .
I met such behavior if project was not fully upgraded to VS2015. In case if you open solution from 2015 in VS2013 - you will get this error
Open NuGet Package Manager console and run this following command
Update-Package Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform -r
我在 Visual Studio 2019 中第一次加载应用程序时遇到了类似的问题。将“Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform”nuget 更新到更高版本对我来说很有效。

Downgrading your C# language to 5 only masks the problem, as soon as someone uses a C# 6 feature your website/project will break and you will still spend time fixing it again. Try the solution in the link.
