More about command-line tools

[George Faraj]

Hello
I have Visual Studio .NET 2003 Professional and I wanted to create a GUI tool which generates code (this part is done already) and then compiles this code and runs it. I would imagine I can do this with a command-line version of VC++, right? Does the command-line version come included with the IDE version? If anyone could give me an idea on how to go about doing this, I would appreciate it

Thanks a lot

Yes, the command-line compiler is included with Visual Studio. Try looking
in your Visual Studio documentation for "cl command line reference".

You might also try trying cl /? from a "Visual Studio .NET Command Prompt"
(a shortcut to such was installed with VS).
