Visual Studio 2015 and lambda parameters

Was writing this code in Visual Studio 2015. Note the ‘auto’ specifier in the lambda parameter list.

template <typename Container, typename Entity>
void Remove( Container& c, Entity e )
{
	auto Iter = std::remove_if(
		c.begin(), c.end(),
		[ e ]( const auto& Ent ){ return Ent == e; }
	);
	c.erase( Iter, c.end() );
}

Ended up with this code to stay compatible with Visual Studio 2013.

template <typename Container, typename Entity>
void Remove( Container& c, Entity e )
{
	auto Iter = std::remove_if(
		c.begin(), c.end(),
		[ e ]( const typename Container::value_type& Ent ) { return Ent == e; }
	);
	c.erase( Iter, c.end() );
}
