Compiling from the command line

[Sathyaish Chakravarthy]

I downloaded the .NET SDK two months ago in the two setups:

(1) dotnetfx.exe - The 23 MB framework
(2) setup.exe - the 106 MB SDK

I also registered the path C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework under the
environment variables section. Yet I am not able to run the c sharp
compiler from the command line. Although I am using Sharp Develop as
well and that works just fine, but I wish to be able to compile raw
code from the command line switches, just for pleasure. I also ran
the batch file sdkvars.bat that comes with the SDK. Am I missing
something?

What kind of error do you get? you should be able to use the compiler with
just the framework install, thus without the SDK.

Usually all you need to do is put the framework directory (eg
c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322) in the path.
