I am trying to teach myself how to compile my application at the command line
with the csc.exe. I found a good article which steps you through the
process, but I have some questions, which I hope someone can elighten me
on....
1. In VS2005, I found an article about how VS2005 is using a new tool
called "MSBuild" to do compiles. Does this mean that csc.exe is being
replaced and I really should be learning this new tool?
2. Strong Names - The example showed you how to use a utility to create a
"strong name" and utilize this as a compile option. What does this do for
me? It seems that the /keyFile would not accept a path which was on another
drive, maybe I did something wrong, but I had to move the .snk file into the
same directory where I was doing the compile. I was compiling from the c:
prompt, but all my code and references were on another drive.
3. I'm confused as to when to create a ".netModule" or a ".dll" file. Why
would I create one vs. the other.
Thanks in advance for your assistance!!
