Unrecognized Escape Sequence C# 6 String Interpolation [duplicate]

Question

According to New Features in C# 6, you should be able to declare strings as such:

var name = "world";
WriteLine("hello, \{name}");

For the output:

hello, world

I have created a new Console application, set the Target Framework to .NET Framework 4.6, and I am getting the error "Unrecognized Escape Sequence"

I am using Visual Studio Ultimate 2015 CTP Version 14.0.22512.0 DP

Answer 1

The string interpolation convention changed. It is now using the "$" operator:

var name = "world";
WriteLine($"hello, {name}");
