need betterhelp then this

There is no need to add the references!!!! Simply compiling with csc does it all

I couldnt figure out how to save the notepad document to( C:toCompileForm1.cs.) .I couldnt find the visual studio tools either in the start menu so this was totally useless for me..I really want to learn this stuff so I am really frustrated .

Please give me a detailed tutorial on how to compile programmes using c++ object oriented language.Thank you.

Since I am new to C#, this tutorial helped me a lot, thanks! But is there a way to compile the program using the DOS command prompt (not the Visual Studio .Net command prompt)? I tried using it, but the "csc" command is not recognized.

Yes, you need to download the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/downloads/framework1_1/" target="_blank">.NET Framework 1.1 SDK</a> first if you don't have it installed. Then you can compile from the command prompt just like you did with Visual Studio.

Hi, is there a way to see what "Compile command" visual studio generates when you launch the build command from the IDE?
Thanks

When i refer an assembly using /r i got an error saying metadata can not be found. But the assembly which I referred is registered in GAC. But the problem is solved when i specify full path of the assembly in /r option. Can someone tell me why CSC is not able to locate the assembly available in GAC?

Thanks!

Hi

Is there a way to create a reference to assembly from Dos Command prompt for C# project(.cproj) instead of .cs file using "csc" or any other command.

Thanks in Advance

thanks a lot...it helped a lot

You don't need to use the visual studio command prompt, you can compile the program from any command prompt. You just need to include csc.exe in your path environmental variable and you can run it from any directory.

As for .csproj files, the C# compiler won't recognize them, they are a VS manifestation. If you want to compile a project that has multiple source files like class1.cs, class2.cs, and mainapp.cs (entry point), you would do:

csc.exe class1.cs class2.cs mainapp.cs

and it will output mainapp.exe

thanks.....

Good tutorial.

I have a class called MyClass.cs that has a statement to get data from web.config like below
var = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["KeyName"].ToString()

I compiled MyClass.cs successfully using C:\toCompile>csc /r:System.Configuration.dll MyClass.cs

I am getting runtime error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object".

Please help me how do you include the web.config and get data from it.

Thanks

I keep getting a message saying that my class "is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file."

My gut tells me there is a problem with my environment variables. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Anybody have any idea how to convert a complex large VS.NET solution and/or project (VS.NET 2003, 2005, or 2008) into a command line build script such that you can build it from the command line, and ideally without need of having VS.NET installed, like just having the .NET framework is enough?

That would really be useful.
