  11. C# 3.0:

It’s worth noting that C# versions are often associated with the corresponding .NET runtime versions, and the .NET Core and .NET 5/6/7/… unification brings a more streamlined versioning approach. If you are using a specific version of Visual Studio, it usually supports multiple versions of the C# language.
