Will the .Net version be updated for scripting? I am trying to use a Linq function and it isn't supported.

At the moment we're kind of stuck on .NET 2 because we are reluctant to force customers to install .NET 4. However, we do want to switch DisplayFusion to .NET 4 as soon as we can, so rest assured that we will make the switch as soon as we think our customer base is ready for it

Any update on this? Possible to release a alternative build for those of us who can't do without Linq? Please

Not yet sorry. An alternative build isn't an option unfortunately

v7.2 says it prefers .Net 4.0 now, but in Mar 2016 you said the scripting wasn't updated?

Now I want to use C# 6.0

The newest DisplayFusion betas all run on .NET 4.x (4.6 if you have it installed). You should be able to use the new language features like Linq now.

I have version 4.6 installed but when I attempted to use a C# 6.0 feature in a Scripted function, it did not work.

For example, string interpolation or extension functions found for collection initializers.

Sorry, I meant you'll be able to use the new language features like 4.x features compared to the older 2.x. Things like Linq, but not C# 6.0 features. Because it's compiled as a 4.0 application, the scripting is also limited to 4.0, even if it's technically running on 4.6.

I attempted to use LINQ in the latest DisplayFusion, using the new Add .Net reference to add a reference to System.Linq, and I get an error message stating Linq doesn't exist in System?

@NetMage: Can you give me a sample of the Linq code you're trying to use? It could be an issue with the editor itself or the backend compiler, but once we have a sample we should be able to sort it out. Thanks!
