I have Visual Studio.NET 2001 installed but I have not been able to find the command line compiler for C# (cs.exe) in the installation folder :confused:? Doesn't it come with the .NET studio?

Hi,
You should be looking for csc.exe.

Foolish me but I cannt find csc.exe as well :confused:.

I want to learn how to write a WinForm application from scratch thats why looking for the command line compiler. I have tried options like having a blank project and then add a .cs file to it but I get errors. Any ideas on how to go about this?

try looking for it in \WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727, depends on the .NET version you are using

whats visual studio 2001??? are you using a pre-1.0 beta or something (good luck if you are, because they changed a lot of things between beta 1 and release 1.0)? or did you mistype the year?

Thanks. I got it :).

Yes it's version 1.0. I have Visual Studio Express Edition 2005 but that doesn't has MFC in it so for now Iam playing with this only.

Thanks for the replies everyone.

if its .net v.1, then you're using vs.net 2002. if you go with the path yash_sws listed, you'll be compiling against v.2, not 1 (the version that came w/ 2005 express). you should have a \windows\microsoft.net\framework\v1.0.something too and csc should be in there (and more importantly the correct one for version 1.0).
