Language version #12

What C# version should be used to develop this project? Since the nameof operator is not used anywhere, for example, should the project stay on C# 5 or could I refactor some parts using new features in C# 6 and 7?

It's limited by the .Net framework that can be used for VS extensions. I haven't tried but I assume upgrading would either not work in the first place or break compatibility with older VS versions

The targeted frameworks would stay the same, just the required Visual Studio version would change, since a new compiler is needed. To use C#6 efficiently, one would need VS2015 and for C#7, VS2017. Can the new languages be used for this project? If not and it should stay on C#5, can I change the language version in the project files from 'default' to '5' to prevent accidental changes?
