I have downloaded the C# 2000 express edition and made a project.

I can compile this project from the command prompt like this

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\vcsexpress.exe" myProj.sln /build

My question is, is there a more “platform/IDE” independed way of doing this ?

Like this

msbuild myProj.sln /build

Where msbuild is some fantastic microsoft windows built in tool that, not only find out that it is a C# project but also find the right compiler as well and start it.

    It do even more than expected, if there are no arguments to msbuild, it will search current library for project files (such as a .sln) and run it
