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
