csc

The Microsoft C# Compiler. More information: https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/compiler-options/command-line-building-with-csc-exe.
  • Compile one or more C# files to a CIL executable:
    csc {{path/to/input_file_a.cs}} {{path/to/input_file_b.cs}}
  • Specify the output filename:
    csc /out:{{path/to/filename}} {{path/to/input_file.cs}}
  • Compile into a .dll library instead of an executable:
    csc /target:library {{path/to/input_file.cs}}
  • Reference another assembly:
    csc /reference:{{path/to/library.dll}} {{path/to/input_file.cs}}
  • Embed a resource:
    csc /resource:{{path/to/resource_file}} {{path/to/input_file.cs}}
  • Automatically generate XML documentation:
    csc /doc:{{path/to/output.xml}} {{path/to/input_file.cs}}
  • Specify an icon:
    csc /win32icon:{{path/to/icon.ico}} {{path/to/input_file.cs}}
  • Strongly-name the resulting assembly with a keyfile:
    csc /keyfile:{{path/to/keyfile}} {{path/to/input_file.cs}}
