hi arjun
ReplyDeletethanks for ur reply
how this "shortcut: Launch Visual studio command prompt from visual studio" works.I did the steps u said in these comments for vs2008.but i dont know what i have to do next after completing these steps to get visual studio command prompt.
is there any other way to get visual studio command prompt.since i have downloaded visual studio web developer 2008 express edition(http://www.microsoft.com/express/download/).it doesnt have visual studio command prompt.now i want to compile my assembly files.
can u tell me the way to get visual studio command prompt to compile my assembly files.
thanks in advance
Kanna,
ReplyDeleteOnce you complete the steps listed in the post, you should see a new menu item in the Tools menu. So click Tools > Cmd.
This will open a new command prompt window, from where you can invoke the C# compiler.
hi arjun
ReplyDeleteyeh its working.
but i couldnt compile a assembly file.its saying "vbc is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable or a batch file.(the path is on my documents and then visual studio 2008 and in current website).and also i tried just ildasm its saying the same.
thanks in advance
hi i also tried c# compiler
ReplyDeletethats csc command
but its showing the same error(not recognized command,operable or a batch file)
hi arjun
ReplyDeletethanks for help.now only i noticed,u said its a shortcut so it wont create a new command prompt.in clear people who have visual studio command prompt can use ur code to have a shortcut.but here i have no vs command prompt in tools and all the supporting file.i dont think i can use normal command prompt as visual studio command prompt without having supporting files.so i have to buy.
u did a nice job
thanks
Kanna, I am glad I was able to help you out. Please keep reading.
ReplyDeleteKanna, I dont know if this is exactly the same as what microsoft offically does with the other bat file, but one thing that works well is:
ReplyDeleteset path=%path%;%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5
Add the above dir to your system path (you can also set this in Windows UI in Computer -> Manage).
Any command window will be like a vs cmd, and you can run commands including csc and msbuild.
When I followed the directions for creating the external Cmd command at the start of this post, the CMD command's /K argument failed with an error message indicating that the batch file did not exist.
ReplyDeleteIn my case - I downloaded only Visual Basic .Net 2008 Express - there is no .bat file called 'vcvarsall.bat' in the /K argument's listed folder.
The correct Cmd argument, at least for my case, should be:
/k ""C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\bin\vcvars32.bat""
