Update iLogic compiler to support modern and useful VB.NET features

Update iLogic compiler to support modern and useful VB.NET features

iLogic uses the Visual Basic 2012 compiler, which is missing several useful features added in newer compiler versions. Probably the most generally useful is String Interpolation, which I created a dedicated idea for here.

 

However, there are a few other new features that would be helpful for more advanced programming techniques, such as the NameOf operator and read-only auto-implemented properties.

 

There are probably many other advantages to the newer compilers that I'm not aware of. It would be great if iLogic could be updated to use the newer Roslyn compiler, so that we can take advantage of all the new compiler features that have been added, and will be added in the future.

oh, please this. so much this.

 

Didn't even know this existed in VB.NET. Huge thumbs up! Not liking the "Character is not valid." errors.
