C# 14 Extension Member support in beta?
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/whats-new/csharp-14#extension-members
I know you generally add new feature support shortly after there's an update to the compiler, but it looks like this is a more significant change that requires updates to the editor.
How quickly can this be added to the beta? I'm excited to play around with this.
Some of the other C# 14 features appear to be supported already (e.g., property field and span conversions) while others not (null conditional assignment)
I do have the .NET 10 preview 4 installed. I suppose this will be a LINQPad 9 feature.
Comments
Preview support for this feature is now available in 8.9.3.
Sorry: it turns out the latest Roslyn assemblies are causing issues with LINQPad, and this feature has been withdrawn for now.
FWIW, it did seem to work fine from my limited test.
Out of curiosity, what sort of issues was it causing?
It broke on older .NET versions. The LINQPad 8 GUI supports .NET 6 to .NET 9. The latest Roslyn package requires .NET 8+.
It shouldn't really be a problem, because LINQPad 9 will enter early preview status soon. The GUI for LINQPad 9 supports .NET 8 to 10 (scripts can run down to .NET 6). LINQPad 9 a major update that unifies the Windows & macOS codebases, and has been more than a year in the making. Stay tuned!
It would be great if this came out soon
since I'd like to try out Extensions while C# 14 is still in beta without having to crank up VS.
The LINQPad 9 early preview should be here within days
LINQPad 9 is now in early preview:

Let me know how you get along.
Awesome! Looks good! Extensions working well. Thanks Joe
