Answer 1

To compile a C# file, you need to have dotnet installed, here is a link with the info on how to install it. Dotnet Then you go to where the file is and put:

dotnet run <file.cs>

(without <> obviously).

Although it is highly recommended that you create a project first and paste your code into the Program.cs file. This way you will avoid unnecessary headaches.
