I want to build .NET solution using batch file.
I am aware that I need to use following statement
devenv /build release "D:\Source Code\Source\test.sln"
But I do not know how to create batch file which will execute on VS command prompt.
The visual studio command prompt just loads some variables and path settings. That’s all it is, it’s nothing specially, it’s not a different command prompt, it’s the same command prompt with some settings configured. You can load the same settings in your own batch file by including the following line at the top:
(Obviously, for different versions of VS, the path might change slightly)
You can replace “x86” with the appropriate architecture for your machine. The permitted values are:
That said, I don’t think you actually need to load all the vars/paths all you really need to do is provide the full path to the
devenv.exefile. You could try this instead:(Again, the path will change for different versions of visual studio)
