command prompt c# compiler

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers (More info?)

I am doing a course in Visual C#.net. I am at my first very basic one line
program. the book (Visual C# Net) by Joyce Farrell says to run it first from
the command line because it is much simpler. Later I should install the
Microsoft Compiler which has more steps. My problem is when I enter csc and
the program name 'Hello.cs' it says it cant find the compiler. When I enter
tha path the text book says to, it finds the compiler but not the
program.When I change the path to cd c:\ like the school told me to it can't
find the compiler again. Can anyone help me with this. I sure would
appreaciate it. ThankYou in advance. Paul Fiedler

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322

..NET framework includes the compilers (so if you don't mind doing all extra menial work you can program in .NET for free).
