C# Compilation without visual studio

I am learning C# and I know the advantages and ease of using Visual Studio but basically I want to learn the mechanics of C# the old school way. I understand that I need to the least .NET Framework and Notepad to compile C# code which I have already. Now I have created the small app as myApp.cs and I want to know how should I compile it as executable from command line cmd.exe

Solution

  • The command line compiler is csc.exe.
