I would like to compile a C# class using the C# command line compiler. I am doing something like this
C:WINDOWSsystem32cmd.exe /k “”C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 9.0VCvcvarsall.bat”" x86″ csc /target:exe /reference:mscorlib.dll /out:test.exe test.cs
and its failing with a message Failed to create Process: the system cannot find the file specified.
Any help would be highly appreciated
Thanks and regards

Hi,
At a guess you need to move the /k bit from your command line to the Parameters box, e.g.
Command: cmd.exe
Parameters: /k “”C:Program …
Also, note that you can only run one program in here, so if you want to combine running vcvarsall with calling csc then probably the best option is to create a simple batch file called build.bat or similar:
@echo off
call C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 9.0VCvcvarsall.bat x86
csc /target:exe /reference:mscorlib.dll /out:%1.exe %1.cs
Then configure your tool like this:
Command: build.bat
Parameters: %n
This will pass the filename part of the current file to the tool, to build filename.cs into filename.exe.

Thanks Simon , for your help. really appreciate that..
I tried to follow this step of yours(right now I am using only 1 tool(csc))
Command: cmd.exe
Parameters: /k “”C:Program …
but now I am getting this error
> “cmd.exe” /k “”C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 9.0VCvcvarsall.bat”" x86″ csc /target:exe /reference:mscorlib.dll /out:test.exe test.cs
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
C:Program FilesProgrammer’s Notepad>
Guess, this is happening because visual studio command prompt cannot be located??
that was just a wild guess.. but if you could please help me with this, that would be awesome
Thanks and regards

Alternatively I also tried using your second approach , i.e creating a bat file
here is how i created my bat file
@echo off
call %comspec% /k “C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 9.0Common7Toolsvsvars32.bat”
csc /target:exe /reference:mscorlib.dll /out:%1.exe %1.cs
after creating the bat file, i did exactly what you mentioned in your second part
Then configure your tool like this:
Command: build.bat
Parameters: %n
This will pass the filename part of the current file to the tool, to build filename.cs into filename.exe.
but then i get this message(note that – there are no errors, this time, thank you once again  )
> “ PnCSharpBuild.bat” test
Setting environment for using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 x86 tools.
>
but the file did not get executed and nor was the exe file created ?
pray tell me , wat wrong did i do?
Thanks again

Got it .. thanks@simon
for somebody like me , here is how you can do it
put this in a bat file
@echo off
call C:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv3.5csc.exe /target:exe /reference:mscorlib.dll /out:%1.exe %1.cs
and Then configure your tool like this:
Command: build.bat
Parameters: %n
This will pass the filename part of the current file to the tool, to build filename.cs into filename.exe.

Great, glad you got it working.
For reference, the problem with your previous file was this:
call %comspec% /k "C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 9.0Common7Toolsvsvars32.bat"
If you had used this I think it would have worked:
call "C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 9.0Common7Toolsvsvars32.bat"
Using comspec starts a new command-prompt instance to run that command, which then exits afterwards. We want the changes from vsvars in our current session so we don’t use comspec.
