Using C# 6 features with CodeDomProvider (Roslyn)

Question

CodeDomProvider objCodeCompiler = CodeDomProvider.CreateProvider( \"CSharp\" );

CompilerParameters objCompilerParameters = new CompilerParameters();

...

CompilerR         


        

Answer 1

The built-in CodeDOM provider doesn't support C# 6. Use this one instead:

https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform/

It's based on Roslyn and supports the C# 6 features.

Just change this line:

CodeDomProvider objCodeCompiler = CodeDomProvider.CreateProvider( "CSharp" );

to this:

CodeDomProvider objCodeCompiler = new Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform.CSharpCodeProvider();
