How to build .csproj with C# 7 code from command line (msbuild)

Tags:

I use some C# 7 features in my project:

static void Main(string[] args) { }  public byte ContainerVersion {     get => 1;     private set => throw new NotImplementedException(); } 

and it builds fine in visual studio 2017, but I get an error on my CI agent when using old msbuild (v14.0 C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\14.0\Bin\msbuid.exe consoleApplication.csproj.):

error CS1513: } expected.

You'll need to install msbuild-2015 on your CI agent.

The default install directory for msbuild will be: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\BuildTools\MSBuild\15.0\Bin\MSBuild.exe

Having installed Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition, the path to msbuild.exe on my machine is:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\MSBuild\15.0\Bin\MSBuild.exe
