Yesterday I downloaded the latest CefSharp3 full solution and set CefSharp.Winforms.Example as my startup solution, because it's closest to what I need to do (modify the requestcontext in a certain way upon initialization). I did a NuGet restore but it said nothing needed to be done. After install missing build components and fixing my VCTarget path, I was finally able to build the Winforms.Example (using build.ps1, VS 2017) and it runs. However, I have noticed that several of the other projects in the solution seem to have problems that would appear to prevent building.

For example, file ChromiumWebBrowser.cs, line 343, the references to "Cef" say that the name "Cef" does not exist in the current context.

Same file, line 34, ManagedCefBrowserAdapter, advises that the type or namespace cannot be found.

Both types of problems exist in a number of the files, so am I missing something that needs to be done before I can build those projects?

The Building CEFSharp wiki page doesn't indicate anything else needing to be done (https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp/wiki/Building-CefSharp), but it also mentions that it's out of date.

If you compiled with build.ps1 then the whole solution should have compiled successfully.

There are three ChromiumWebBrowser.cs files in the solution, which one are you referring?

If you've successfully run build.ps1 then you already have successfully compiled the solution.

CI builds are succeeding so I don't believe there are any compilation errors in the project currently

Testing with VS2019 (I usually use VS2017) and there appears to be a problem with the C# language version passed to the compiler.

We are limited in the C# version we can target as the project still targets .Net 4.5.2 as it's lowest version.

The error message was `CS1617 Invalid option '7.3' for /langversion; must be ISO-1, ISO-2, Default, Latest or a valid version in range 1 to 7.1.`

VS2015/2017/2019 should now all use 7.1
