XNA Compilation

[=?Utf-8?B?UmV1YmVu?=]

Hi,
Sorry if I'm in the wrong newsgroup, but I couldn't find anything that dealt
solely with XNA.

I was wondering if there is any way to compile content into XNA binary files
without using the Visual Studio/C#/XNA GSE IDE. I don't mind whether it's via
code or through a command line, the idea is to compile it on a system that
only has the XNA Framework Redistributable installed.

Please let me know if you have any ideas that could even be remotely helpful.

Reuben.

There are XNA Game Development forums that are linked to from the Microsoft
XNA Development Center:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/xna/default.aspx

In answer to your question, to the best of my knowledge, it is not possible
to develop XNA without having both Visual Studio Express and XNA Game Studio
Express installed on the machine. It is probably possible to use the
command-line compiler on a machine with that software installed, although
I've never had reason to find out. But if you ask on the forums you may find
a more definitive answer.
