You can either set a version in the global.json file (like so https://github.com/OmniSharp/omnisharp-roslyn/blob/master/global.json#L4) or use the combination of dnvm alias and dnvm use. OmniSharp (the C# brain used by VSCode) will first check the global.json file and then go with the default-alias. All the details can be found here: https://github.com/OmniSharp/omnisharp-roslyn/blob/master/src/OmniSharp/AspNet5/AspNet5Paths.cs#L45
