Building from the Command Line

As an alternative to building a program from within Visual Studio, you may want to build at the command line.

Invoking the Compiler

The compiler can be invoked by typing the name of its executable (csc.exe) on the command line. You may need to adjust your path if you want csc.exe to be invoked from any subdirectory on your computer. See Setting the Path and Environment Variables for Command-Line Builds for more information.

Differences Between C# Compiler and C++ Compiler Output

There are no object (.obj) files created as a result of invoking the C# compiler; .exe and .dll output files are created directly. As a consequence of this, the C# compiler does not need a linker.

Command-Line Syntax

Parsing C++ Command-Line Arguments discusses how to specify command-line arguments.
