Research direction

Start with docs/csharp/language-reference/configure-language-version.md and inspect the examples alongside the guidance about latest and preview values. Update examples that use preview when the article does not recommend it, then verify the examples consistently match the surrounding recommendation.

Type of issue

Other (describe below)

Description

<LangVersion> examples should not be set to preview when it's not recommended to use latests or preview.

Don't set the LangVersion element to latest. The latest setting means the installed compiler uses its latest version. The value of latest can change from machine to machine, making builds unreliable. In addition, it enables language features that might require runtime or library features not included in the current SDK.
