Which line in the code you've posted corresponds to line 30 in the error messages? — canton7, Nov 24 '20 at 09:17
I suppose that you are not using C# 8.0. And the syntax used for the using statements requires C# 8.0. Thus my question about the Visual Studio version. Probably you need to enable C# 8.0 or later — Steve, Nov 24 '20 at 09:20
line 30 : using var stream = new FileStream(tempFile, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read); line 31 : using var zip = new ZipArchive(stream); line 36: using var entryStream = zipArchiveEntry.Open(); line 37 : using var targetStream = new FileStream(Path.Combine(destinationFolder, zipArchiveEntry.FullName), FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.Write); — EmiRZ, Nov 24 '20 at 09:22
Yep, Steve was right. You'll need to use a more recent version of Visual Studio (just grab the latest), or convert the newer C# syntax to the older equivalent — canton7, Nov 24 '20 at 09:24
Thanks @canton7 and Steve . I am updating to lastest version now. — EmiRZ, Nov 24 '20 at 09:26
And apart from Mr Gravell answer below there is also the possibility explained here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54701377/how-can-i-use-c-sharp-8-with-visual-studio-2017 but compared to that solution I really suggest to join the latest release of VS — Steve, Nov 24 '20 at 09:29

This seems to be C# 8 "using declarations"; it is possible that you have an up to date compiler available, but your csproj is configured to use down-level C#; it is possible that editing the cspoj to update or add:

<LangVersion>8</LangVersion>

(or higher, inside a <PropertyGroup> element)

would fix it.

If you can't use C# 8, then:

using (var stream = new FileStream(tempFile, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read))
using (var zip = new ZipArchive(stream))
{

    foreach (var zipArchiveEntry in zip.Entries)
    {
        Logger.Log($"Extracting {zipArchiveEntry.FullName}");
        using (var entryStream = zipArchiveEntry.Open())
        using (var targetStream = new FileStream(Path.Combine(destinationFolder, zipArchiveEntry.FullName), FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.Write))
        {
            entryStream.CopyTo(targetStream);
        }
    }
}
