Unsafe code won't compile on Visual Studio 2015

Question

I'm trying to compile a program on the new DNX4.6 core, but it won't compile due to:

error CS0227: Unsafe code may only appear if compiling with /unsafe

This is my code:

    [CompilerGenerated]
    public unsafe class GrayscaleQuantizer : PaletteQuantizer
    {

I've looked online, and I can't get any source with the same problem as I have. I can't tick the 'Allow Unsafe Code' at the Build tab of the Project Properties, because there is no option to do so...

Does anyone know a solution?

Answer 1

You need to set "allowUnsafe": true in the build options in project.json.

Answer 2

I wasn't smart enough to be able to figure it out with the help above. I did find that if you go to the solution explorer window and right click on properties, the one just above references, there will be an option to open. Click that one and then click on Build on the left. Allow unsafe code is on about the fifth line.

Thanks for your help 5 years into the future. I couldn't find it either. I didn't know you needed to do your steps above for the "Allow unsafe code" check box to appear in the "Build" section on the left. It shows up just below "Prefer 32-bit" check box, after you follow the above instructions.
