Next question for ReSharper 4

Hello Peter,

Yes. Since VS2008 always uses C# 3.0 compiler, you will be able to use C#
3.0 language features when targeting .NET Framework 2.0. For extension methods,
you'll need some tricking though, since you don't have System.Core with ExtensionMethodAttribute.

Thanks, i means using only c# 2.0 language with .NET Framework 2.0
targeting. From your answer this is also OK, right?

Hello Peter,

You can't use C# 2.0 compiler in VS2008 without manually hacking msbuild
files. You can force yourself not using lambdas and LINQ and extension methods,
thought. Targeting .NET Framework 2.0 does NOT mean using C# 2.0 compiler.
As CLR didn't change since .NET 2.0 (except fixes), you will be able to run
assemblies built with C# 3.0 compiler in .NET 2.0 environment. Framework
targeting switches which assemblies will be used by compiler.

Sorry for missunderstanding, i mean that we use only c# 2.0 lang
syntax, not using 3.x lang features. We dont use c# 2.0 compiler.

Sorry for my bad english :-|

Hello Peter,

You ARE using lang C# 3.0 features, because not only lambdas, LINQ, extension
methods and other new features were added. Type inference changed and some
resolve in hierarchies changed. So you may very well end up with code that
would NOT compile with C# 2.0 compiler, if this is the goal. It's not enough
to avoid new features of language to maintain compatiblity.

Anyway, we plan to include Language Level feature in ReSharper 4, which you
can set to 2.0 or 3.0 version of C# language. This would be per-project setting,
and ReSharper will behave according to language level throughout the feature
set, like suggest or not suggest generating automatic properties, etc.

I assume that R# will take care of this automatically based on the project's target framework properties, no? (based on you saying "you can set" I wasn't sure.)

Hello Jeremy,

Target Framework and Target Language are two different things. You can compile
with C# 3.0 for .NET 2.0. Why should we infer C# 2.0 from the fact someone
targets .NET 2.0?

Apologies, I neglected to mention both. Obviously, R# should infer the correct settings from whatever can be extracted from the project properties. As far as I'm aware, however, mixing different target framework and language requires doing things like using statement hacks, so R# should be able to treat them as one thing (target framework) just as I originally mentioned, no?

Hello Jeremy,

Things like the "var" keyword and using lambdas instead of delegate(){} are
just compiler tricks and can be used in vs2008 when targetting the 2.0 framework.
In fact, it's one of the great advantages of vs2008. What you are suggesting
would effectively turn vs2008 into vs2005, which is not a desirable thing
at all.

I am in a situation where I'm using VS2008, but some other people working on a particular project are using VS2005. It's not a case of me wanting to turn 2008 into 2005, but I don't want the code filled-up with things which turn out not to compile for the VS2005 people.

So I am 'using 2008 but not using C#3.0 features'. There are people with a legitimate, albeit transient (I hope!), need to run in this situation.

Hello,

I am in a situation where I'm using VS2008, but some other people
working on a particular project are using VS2005.

It's theoretically possible to make VS2005 build with C# 3.0. Of course Visual
Studio features will treat the new constructs as errors, but with R# that's
hardly noticeable. Would be interesting if someone tried the thing.
