Upgrade to Visual Studio 2015

AeroShot solution and project originates from VS 2010. Now that VS 2015 is out, any objections to upgrading it considering that it still supports targeting .NET Framework 2.0? This would be primarily to use C# 6. It's a small code base and tool so worth the fun. :)

I am running VS 2015, but I have not looked into C# 6 yet. Will using C# 6 require the end-user to have the .Net 4.6 installed? or will VS compile it to IL that can be run by some older versions of the framework?

Most things in C# 6 are syntax sugar like many versions before it. And as I said earlier, you can use C# 6 features, target earlier versions of the .NET Framework like 2.0 and the compiled IL and metadata will be understood by that runtime just fine. The end-user won't need .NET 4.6 from the end-user and if it did then I wouldn't be suggesting the upgrade.

Thanks for confirming that. Go ahead and open a pull request for this.

Sweet. 👍

BTW, I'll have to force the upgrade. Technically, VS 2015 won't upgrade the solution and project by just opening it up in the IDE. However, using C# 6 syntax and leaving VS in 2010 format could be misleading as it won't compile on earlier versions of VS. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry for this. I'd rather close #19 and #26 done first.
