Change C# language version to 7.2 in vs-code on Linux

Question

I read that .NET Core 2.0 SDK support C# 7.2 by default but the features of C# 7.1 and 7.2 are disabled and we have to enable them. I install both SDK and C# extension for vs-code, but when I compile my code I got this error:

Program.cs(118,2): error CS1513: } expected [/home/smn/Desktop/myTest.csproj]

The build failed. Please fix the build errors and run again.

I also add these line to my .csproj file:

<PropertyGroup"> <LangVersion>7.2</LangVersion> </PropertyGroup>

try this too:

`<PropertyGroup">
<LangVersion>latest</LangVersion>
</PropertyGroup>`

and also try this too:

`<PropertyGroup 
Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(Platform)'=='Release|AnyCPU'">
<LangVersion>latest</LangVersion>
</PropertyGroup>
<PropertyGroup 
Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(Platform)'=='Debug|AnyCPU'">
<LangVersion>latest</LangVersion>
</PropertyGroup>`

What should I do?!

If you have not been able to solve this yet, you should try to remove the erroneous quote (") in the PropertyGroup tag, which appears in all the examples you gave.

<PropertyGroup">

This works for me:

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
  <PropertyGroup>
    <OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
    <TargetFramework>netcoreapp2.0</TargetFramework>
    <LangVersion>7.2</LangVersion>
  </PropertyGroup>
</Project>
