Using C# 7.1 with MSBuild

Question

To use the new C# 7.1 language features with Visual Studio 2017, you add the setting latest to your project file(s).

Answer 1

We discovered that our MVC projects were triggering this issue.

To fix, we updated the Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform NuGet package used by these projects from version 1.0.0 to 1.0.7.
