IDE seems to be using an old compiler, not sure why?

Completed

I seem to be having an issue with the IDE whereby it has compiler errors suggesting an older language version, but I set everything up to be the latest I could find. This is an example of the errors I have:

In my csproj file I have:

<TargetFrameworkVersion>v4.6.1</TargetFrameworkVersion>

And I have a Calpurnius.csproj.DotSettings with CSharpLanguageProject/LanguageLevel/@EntryValue">CSharp60</s:String>

My System dll is: C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETFramework\v4.6.1\System.dll

 

Does anyone know why it might think I'm still on an old language version and give those errors?

Check the Toolset in Rider settings and LangVersion in csproj.

Thanks for the tip, I installed the latest msbuild from here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/msbuild/what-s-new-in-msbuild-15-0 and then changed the Toolset settings to point to the dll it installed and that worked.
