ASP.NET expected ; error

Question

I have this line of code:

var defaultResult = $"Enum_{@this.GetType().Name}_{@this}";

but I get this error:

expected ;

How do I fix this? String.Format?

@DrewKennedy nothing wrong with $, it marks an interpolated string. Besides the error is not about $ — Panagiotis Kanavos

I am not famous of the $ symbol, but I doubt if the @ could be placed inside {} — Zay Lau

The $ is a feature available in C# 6.0. Make sure you're set to the correct version.

The error doesn't mention $ at all. The older compilers would complain about $ not ;

I'm on C# 5.0 and I got the error about needing a ;.
