Before using any of the .NET SDK command-line tools (including the C# compiler), you need to configure the development machine to recognize their presence. The easiest way is to use Start esb0 All Programs Visual 2005 esb2 Visual Tools menu options, Start the pre-configured Visual Studio command prompt. This particular console automatically initializes the necessary environment variables without requiring you to do anything. Visual Studio .NET 2003 users need to launch their own command prompt.
Note if you do not have Visual Studio, but have already installed .NET Framework SDK, You can launch a pre-configured command prompt from the Start | All Programs Microsoft .NET Framework SDK 2.0 menu option.
If you want to use the .NET command-line tool from any command prompt, you need to manually update the Path variable on your computer. To do this, right-click the My Computer icon on the desktop and select the Properties menu option. From the dialog box that appears, click the Environment Variables button located under the Advanced TAB. From the dialog box that appears, add the following directory listing at the end of the current Path variable in the System variable list box (note that entries must be separated by semicolons) :
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.40607
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\Bin
Note that the list above points to the path of my current .NET 2.0 beta. Your path may vary slightly depending on the installation and version of Visual Studio and/or .NET SDK , so be sure to perform integrity checks.
Immediately after updating the Path variable, close all dialogs and any Console window currently open for you to submit Settings. You should now be able to execute csc.exe and the other .NET tools from any command prompt. To test, enter the following command:
csc -?
ildasm -?
If you see a lot of information displayed, you can continue.
