i want to compile a c++ program using .NET2.0 compiler.
so i navigate to c:\windows\Microsoft.Netframework\2.0.57\ and uses csc compiler to compile.
It shows lot of errors.
But it compiles csharp file. But in visual studio it compiles. so i think that in visual studio c++ copiler installed i think so.
filename test.cpp
using namespace System;
class test
{
void disp()
{
Console::WriteLine("Hello");
}
};
void main()
{
test *t=new test();
t->disp();
}
so plz tell me is it possible to compile c++ file using .net framework 2.0 based comiler at command prompt and how?
csc is the C# compiler, so you shouldn't be surprised that it doesn't compile C++.
Use cl (the C++ compiler) with the /clr switch to compile C++/CLI code. Alternatively, if you've got a solution/project file, use msbuild.
Note that the C++ compiler doesn't ship with .NET, unlike the C# compiler.
It shouldn't be a huge surprise that the C# compiler doesn't like the C++ code; you might as well feed it vb / java / whatever - it isn't going to be legal.
To compile C++, you'll need the C++ compiler, perhaps from C++ Express Edition. Note that for this to compile into mixed/IL it'll been to be managed C++.
csc is the compiler for csharp, not C++
The easiest way to compile from the command line is to use msbuild, and pass it the name of your project (or solution file).
