How to compile c #?

Question

So, I was wondering how to compile C #. I have Windows 7 Enterprise. Is there a built-in or do I have a download?

If I need to download one, what do you recommend?

I did this and he told me about "csc.exe", but I can not find it.

Answer 1

For any real development, the IDE is preferred. Microsoft offers a free version of Visual Studio Express , which has everything you need to get started with C #.

However, you can compile using only the command line compiler (csc.exe), which is included in the structure.

It must be located in the .NET installation directory; for example, on my machine for .NET 4, 64-bit, I have csc.exe in:

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319 

Answer 2

Use the csc command line csc

 C:\>csc file.cs 

Answer 3

You can use the version of Visual Studio Community , which is Microsoft's full-featured free IDE that will compile C #.

Answer 4

Your options:

• csc.exe (command line compiler), which is located in c: \ Windows \ Microsoft.Net \ Framework \ v4.0.30319 \
• Install Visual Studio Express, the free version of VS, for Windows / Console Applications , Web Applications, or Windows Phone Applications
• Buy a license for Visual Studio 2010 or get an MSDN subscription

Answer 5

As you start fresh, why not use an IDE that does this for you?

For literal compilation C #: Own image generator

Otherwise, get Visual Studio.

Answer 7

Using Visual Studio will be the easiest way. Free editions available. See http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/products/2010-editions/express for more details.

Answer 8

You need Visual Studio to compile it as soon as you install it. After installing it, you can go to Visual Studio Command Prompt and use the C # csc.exe compiler to compile it.

Answer 9

You must install the framework (2.0, minimum). Then follow this old article for easy practical use:

NOTE: Microsoft IDE, for example, VS, can do this for you as well.

Answer 10

Not sure if you can do this by default in Windows 7 Enterprise. At least you will most likely need a visual studio.

You can get Visual C # for free: http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/products/2010-editions/visual-csharp-express

Answer 11

I would recommend Visual Studio , an express edition for free, you can find more information on the Microsoft website at here .

Answer 12

You can find the command line compiler, csc.exe , in \Windows\Microsoft.Net\Framework\vX.Y

However, you probably want to use Visual Studio, a world-class Microsoft development environment.
You can download the free version .

Answer 13

Also consider using Mono and MonoDevelop for Mac, Linux, and Windows. Not a bad choice for a serious beginner.

Answer 14

I started using SharpDevelop as a portable text editor that understood ASPX files out of the box (against Sublime, etc.), but I created a couple of small (<10K lines) utilities using just that and CSC now. A portable copy of SharpDevelop is especially useful when you do not have administrative permissions (or time) to install full Microsoft Visual Studio in your environment.

Download the "XCopyable" version to get the portable version of SharpDevelop: http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/Download/Default.aspx#SharpDevelop5x
