Hello, Ikke!

I> Newbie here - can somebody please explain how I can compile a C#

You can do it either with cmd line ( csc.exe ) or with IDE ( Visual Studio or other IDE )

There is a free version of Visual Studio (Express) available on the
Microsoft website.

@j33g2000cwa.googlegroups.com:

I don't use VS, so I'd like to be able to compile from the command line.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

You've already been told that csc is the answer, so:

@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl:

Nobody posted anything about csc - the only posts I see are yours and Nick.

Also, the reason I'm asking on usenet and not using Google, is because I
value human input. I'd like to find out the best tool, not just tool x.

Anyway, I'll check out csc. Thanks.

Vadym posted referring to csc; this command-line tool is part of the
framework itself, so will be on any PC with the CLR. Most other tools
(MSBuild etc) essentially use this under the bonnet. The syntax can get
long, so you'd generally wrap it in a build file, else use an MSBuild
compatible file - but that's back into VS territory...

@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl:

Ah. As far as I can see, there is no post of somebody called Vadym in this
thread...

Still, I'll have a look at csc.

Thanks.
