We have Team Foundation Server (TFS) 2015 installed on-premises. We would like to use Visual Studio 2017 to take advantage of the latest C# language features. We are not ready to upgrade to TFS 2017. What are the steps required to allow the latest C# language features to build in TFS 2015?

H2CO3 is right, you can use a makefile with the CXXFLAGS set with -std=c++11 A makefile is a simple text file with instructions about how to compile your program. Create a new file named Makefile (with a capital M). To automatically compile your code just type the make command in a terminal.
C++17 features are available since GCC 5. This mode is the default in GCC 11; it can be explicitly selected with the -std=c++17 command-line flag, or -std=gnu++17 to enable GNU extensions as well.
You can use command-line flag -std to explicitly specify the C++ standard. For example, -std=c++98 , or -std=gnu++98 (C++98 with GNU extensions) -std=c++11 , or -std=gnu++11 (C++11 with GNU extensions)
I didn't follow these steps exactly, but based on what I have learned, I think they would have worked:
<configSections>
<section name="msbuildToolsets" type="Microsoft.Build.Evaluation.ToolsetConfigurationSection, Microsoft.Build.Utilities.Core, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" requirePermission="false" />
</configSections>
<msbuildToolsets>
<toolset toolsVersion="15.0">
<property name="MSBuildToolsPath" value="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\BuildTools\MSBuild\15.0\Bin" />
</toolset>
<toolset toolsVersion="latest">
<property name="MSBuildToolsPath" value="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\BuildTools\MSBuild\15.0\Bin" />
</toolset>
</msbuildToolsets>
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 14.0\Tools\TFSBuildServiceHost.exe.config
(I never would have figure that out without this post. Thank you jonesy2488!)
