Question

I want to create an exe file using C# which will send emails. I want to invoke this exe using batch file. Should I create a Web form application or just a class library ? Can an exe be called using batch file from command prompt?

Please suggest.

Answer 1

Typically, if you want to call a application from a command line, you’d create a Console Application.

This allows your command prompt to call the application and (optionally) accept input from the console (prompt) as well as write output to the console (via the Console class).

You can read the command line arguments directly from the Main routine in the Console Application, as well.
