NT8 8.1.2.0 generates projects with LangVersion=Latest headfaking VS2022

[carnitron]

The latest LangVersion in my VS2022 installation is C#11, not C#8.

This is an issue b/c the little Intellisense tips that show up in my code are constantly telling me to use Target-typed new expressions, which is a C#9 feature and prevent my code from compiling.

You can see this behavior by searching in NinjaTrader.Custom.csproj for:

<LangVersion>Latest</LangVersion>

NT8 should probably instead be generating a tag like this:

<LangVersion>8</LangVersion>

To avoid confusing people.

Cheers.

Actually, one bit of good news is that NT8 does not whack this value when I change it to 8 myself. You just need to be careful to change it in all the platform configurations.

Hello carnitron,

Thanks for your post.

I have reported the behavior to the Development team and they will be investigating this behavior. This ID for this reported behavior is NT-10817.

Once the Development team has finished investigating this behavior and has reported their findings, I will update this forum thread with more information.

Thanks for reporting this!

Hello all,

Thanks for your patience.

The Development team will be implementing a fix for this in the next version release of NinjaTrader (8.1.2.1).

We do not have an ETA for when this version of NinjaTrader will be released at this time.

Sweet! Ok thanks for following up. It's not a huge issue for me, since I have it manually set at 8 and the project generator does not reset it or anything. But glad it will be fixed, b/c I'm sure it will avoid confusion for people.
