I am trying to create a smart contract and I am using ganache, visual studio code and truffle for that purpose. The versions installed in my windows system are: Truffle v5.1.49, Solidity v0.5.16 (solc-js), Node v12.19.0, and Web3.js v1.2.1. However, when I include pragma solidity ^0.5.0 in my sol file I get the following error:

I have also explicitly stated the version in my truffle-config.js file, but it didn't resolve my problem.

    Which editor are you using? Which plugin to highlight solidity are you using? VS Code + Solidity plugin suggest installing the correct version in the project folder. Commented Nov 12, 2020 at 21:55

Right click a solidity file, it popup a menu with the option "Solidity: Change workspace compiler version (Remote)".

Change workspace compiler version popup

After a few seconds it will show a list of available versions to select.

solidity versions

After selecting desired version it will store it in .vscode/settings.json.

{ "solidity.compileUsingRemoteVersion": "v0.6.12+commit.27d51765" }

I installed solc using npm and then specified solidity version in truffle-config.js. That solved my problem.
