C# 7.0 'out variables' in Visual Studio 2015 [duplicate]

Question

This question already has an answer here:

• How to use C# 7 with Visual Studio 2015? 2 answers

I would like to compile C# 7.0 solution in Visual Studio 2015, but I have syntax error:

Error

ErrorMessage : 'DateTime' is a type but is used like a variable.

This is related to 'out variables' changed in C# 7.0

Unfortunately I can not use VS2017 (community) and THIS TUTORIAL - not working (master branch is adapted to VS2017 now).

Do you have an idea how to solve this problem?

Answer 1

You just need to declare a DateTime variable outside the call and pass the parameter with the out keyword like this:

DateTime yuorParam;
method( ..., ..., out yourParam);
