Odd compilation and deployment problems in VS2015

Hey everyone, has anyone been successful with Visual Studio 2015?

I've recently upgraded and I'm having some issues. I've installed the project system for VS2015 and when I compile my code, I've started getting this error:

CS1579 foreach statement cannot operate on variables of type 'string' because 'string' does not contain a public definition for 'GetEnumerator'

Well, the error message seems to be accurate, but this code used to compile and run correctly under VS2013. Did something change? I have quite a few projects that use this idiom to iterate through the characters in a string. I can change them, no big deal, but I'd rather not have to, really.

But the real showstopper is a problem I'm having during deployment (after I fix CS1579):

 

resolving

Resolve: unknown type: System.Diagnostics.DebuggerBrowsableState

Error: ff000000

Any clues, anyone?

Thanks for responding, but the link doesn't seem to work: "No such page exists"

Oh wait, I found it... I'm supposed to add the following to my code:

namespace System.Diagnostics
{
    public enum DebuggerBrowsableState
    {
        Never,
        Collapsed,
        RootHidden
    }
}

Thanks!

Yep, have also ran into that annoying problem. Adding that enum in manually seems to be the only fix available. 

I'm assuming it's a new(-ish) compiler added attribute that's not in the base netmf core lib.

Well, it's not a total fix. I added it to a library project and the library project then worked. However the next project I tried, which consumes that library and so should have visibility of the attribute, which is public, suffered from the same problem.

Now, even if I add the enum directly into my application, I still get the 'resolving' error on deployment. It is broke, broke, broke. Showstopper! I've had to switch back to VS2013, which luckily I hadn't uninstalled, and everything is fine again.

I think SecretLabs should raise this directly with the NetMF team at Microsoft... you have a lot more clout than we as individual developers.

It's already been raised with the NETMF team.

FYI: Adding that enum code to each assembly (both the main executable, and every library) seems to work.
