How can I use C# 8 with Visual Studio 2017?

Question

I\'d like to use C# 8.0 (especially ranges and non-nullable reference types) in Visual Studio 2017. Is it possible?

Answer 1

So the current info is:

• Visual Studio 2019 has been released; it's no longer in preview.
• C# 8 is still in preview (source).

• The C# 8 beta compiler is available with Visual Studio 2019, or the latest .NET Core 3.0 preview. (source)

From this, I deduce that C# 8 is currently not available in VS2017, and that there are no plans to change that.
