Unity C#'s version?

So up to what version unity c# support now?

5.0? or 6.0?

 

You can run this to check the version

Code (CSharp):

1. Debug.Log(System.Enviroment.Version);

 

Wait, is there an announcement I missed?

Last I heard we are using an old version of Mono, roughly equivalent to .Net 3.5.

 

No announcement, nothing has changed.

They're not asking for the framework version. They're asking for the version of the language itself.

 

Its essentially the same question.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_Sharp_(programming_language)

 

Ah. Got it. I was trying to dig up if they were decoupled or not, but I didn't think to check the Wiki.

 

You can use some reflection to find out :

Code (CSharp):

1.     usingSystem.Reflection;
2.     Type type =Type.GetType("Mono.Runtime");
3.     if(type !=null)
4.     {
5.     MethodInfo displayName = type.GetMethod("GetDisplayName",BindingFlags.NonPublic|BindingFlags.Static);
6.     if(displayName !=null)
7.     Debug.Log(displayName.Invoke(null,null));
8.     }

 

Last i checked it was Unity 5.1 with NET 2.6.5

 

I believe that should be Mono 2.6.5

Mono version details can also be found on wikipedia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mono_(software)

 

lol It seems im missing the mark every time.......I think nows the time for me to shut up.

 

Its all good. Most of my Unity knowledge is just copied from @Eric5h5's old posts.

 

(Wonder if I should tell him that I just make everything up.)

So, I found this for usage c# 5.0, 6.0 features in unity.

https://bitbucket.org/alexzzzz/unity-c-5.0-and-6.0-integration/src

 

Just a reminder, from the Roadmap under "IN-PROGRESS, TIMELINES LONG OR UNCERTAIN":

Also, since the numbering is confusing; Unity uses Mono version 2.6.5-with-some-extra-features (I believe), which supports C# 3. The latest version of Mono is Mono 4, which supports C# 6.

Even a "simple" jump up from 2.6.5 to 2.8 would give us C# 4 and a generational GC, so that would actually be huge.

Mono 2.6 was released back in 2009, while 2.8 was out in 2010. Unity has some real big technological debt here.

 

The features of C# 6.0 that can be implemented in the older CIL code can be implemented.

You are still out of luck with the advanced key words like dynamic.

(I think)

 

wtb linq and lambda expression for Unity

 

LINQ extension methods and lambda expressions work just fine in Unity.

 

.NET 4.5 or is that new in Unity 5+ ?

 

What about it?

 

using System.Data.Linq; Namespace works for Unity ? I get error if i try. But normal Linq is fine.

Useful for SQl and database. 4.0 + i believe is the framework.

 

No. Like I said - the extension methods in System.Linq work. And lambda expressions work.

While full LINQ support might be useful for querying collections you can still get there with the extension methods. Beyond that - I really wonder how much database work you're doing inside Unity itself.

 

Querying Database with Linq is base line now days. Using adapter is pretty old fashion. Do I use database allot? Yes I do. I can't imagine me not using it. Thought I do compile things in standalone application with Unity. Thought basic Linq is fine for Unity I am quit happy.

 

So you're packaging database instances up with your games? Or you're directly connecting to and querying a remote database? Both of those seem like bad ideas to me - unless there is another way to use that functionality. Admittedly, I'm not super familiar with it.

 

No, no and no.. There are tons of ways to work with a database.

 

I want to know your way of usage of database, other than connect to remote server db.

 

Ok? Care to enlighten? The first step would be "connecting to it" which means it's either Here or Somewhere Else.

 

Well i dont want to get to deep on it public, but your right, the connection has to be some where For mobile I been using Local connection with a "backdoor" connection to a external application. But I am working on a whole new version with Ulink, maybe I put in in asset store for does who like to use mssql, (its not mono). The data stream is encrypted and obfuscated, so is the connection.

 

Sounds interesting but seems needlessly complicated. Wouldn't it be simpler to just send a GET to the server and let it do the querying? Especially if the server application was also C# in which case your data models could be a shared DLL between it and your Unity client.

 

For small simple games that is more complicated than necessary, because you can have the networkSync/cloud RPC on Ulink but database on separated server.

 

C# 3.0 with additional support for named and optional arguments from C# 4.0.

 

I have Unity 2017.1.0f3 ant it prints "2.0 (Visual Studio built mono)" or "2.0.50727.1433" depending the methods that are shown just above.

Is that normal, that is so low with me ? Is it only linked to the Unity version or are they other parameters that affects it ?

 

If it's showing you those numbers it's because you haven't set it to use the newer framework.

https://blogs.unity3d.com/2017/07/11/introducing-unity-2017/

Scroll or search for the section named Scripting Runtime upgrade then follow the instructions there to switch it.

 

I wonder if all the 6.0 C# features works with mono.. any info on what works or not?

 

I'm using Unity 2017. Both Environment.Version and Mono.Runtime.GetDisplayName() return 2.0. I don't know where 2.6.5 comes in.

The C# version seems to be 4, or at least it says that whenever I try to use a language feature that isn't supported.

But one bizarre idiosyncrasy is that I can use readonly automatically implemented properties even though they apparently weren't introduced until C# 6.

 

What have you got set in Player Settings (see Ryiah's link above) for the "Scripting Runtime Version" and "API Compatibility Level" ?

 

"Stable (.NET 3.5 equivalent)" and ".NET 2.0"

 

Awesome, thanks! Now I am able to use String Interpolation.

 

Here is how I get:

Code (CSharp):

1. Debug.LogFormat("Version: {0}", typeof(string).Assembly.ImageRuntimeVersion);

 

Where did you find this

 

Probably from Unity's website 7 years ago. Try to check the date of the thread before necroing something. The first Google result of "Unity C# Version" leads me to this page, which says it's running version 9.0.
