Question

Need to recompile my project (not large) under Windows 7 without setting up Visual Studio.
Is there any method to do that with minimum setup procedure. It’s C# app, using System.Net.Sockets and some others from my other projects.

Should I set up whole VS to recompile just little code app? like batch build..

Or… is there any cloud/public servers with pre-installed different Operational Systems with Visual Studio, where I could upload my project and just re-build it under all platforms at once?

Answer 1

I use this batch script to compile my C# applications. Just pass in the solution name without the .sln extension

if exist %SYSTEMROOT%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5 set MSBUILDPATH=%SYSTEMROOT%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5

if exist %SYSTEMROOT%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319 set MSBUILDPATH=%SYSTEMROOT%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319

set MSBUILD=%MSBUILDPATH%\msbuild.exe

%MSBUILD% /nologo /m /p:BuildInParallel=true /p:Configuration=Release /p:Platform="Any CPU" "%1.sln"
