Console App Compile issue

[TD]

I have a working console app that I need to deploy to another machine.
I can build and run from Visual Studio but the c# command line complier
switches have me scratching my head.

Can anyone clear up just what I am supposed to indicate in the /out:,
/t: and /r: switches?

When I don't give the full path, it can't find the file, when I give it
the full path, it says it can't read.

A couple of error lists are below.

Thanks, TD

I use "Build Solution" in the "Build" to create the app and after edits
to the code. Does this do what I want? I've tried moving the files
(.dll's and .exe) that are created in the application folder but they
do not work when not located on my machine.

What am I missing?

Thanks, TD

I assume that the .net ide compiled your solution ok. To deploy it to
other folks' machines you will need to distribute the .NET Framework as
part of your package, or have them download and install it before
running your app. Check out the help information from within the .net
ide. The .net ide help information is largely based on MSDN Library,
so if you haven't installed MSDN Library then you may want to do that,
also. Hope this helps a little. :o)

ide does compile and run. this sounds promising. I'll try and report.
thanks

OK. it works now, though I still used the command line (didn't want to
give up). When looking up your suggestion, I ran across another msdn
article. I thought that multiple entries in the switches in the
command line arguments were seperated by white space, for /reference it
must be semi-colons.

Anyway, here is the working csc.

csc
/reference:C:\oracle\ora92\bin\Oracle.DataAccess.dll;C:\windows_apps\ChartDraft\iTextSharpReference_ver.04\itextsharp.dll;C:\windows_apps\ChartDraft\SharpZipLibReference_assy050\ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.dll
/out:ChartDraft.exe *.cs

Thanks
