Compile and Execute C# (C sharp) code without Visual Studio and with .NET Framework

Hi everyone,

Today I have come across executing C# (C Sharp) code with out Visual Studio, but you must have .NET Framework installed on your computer.

Procedure:

1. Install .NET Framework, if not installed.
2. Set the path of the .NET Framework Edition in environment variables or by using SET PATH command.
ex: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5
3. Write the C# script, Save file with extension .cs
   ex: D:\csharp\trail.cs
   using System;
   
   public class Example
   {
       public static void Main()
       {
           Console.Write("\nIts Done\n");
   
           Console.ReadLine(); //Waits until user press Return(Enter) key
       }
   }
4. Open command prompt, change the directory to specified folder(ex: D:\csharp\)
5. Execute the following command
cmd> csc trail.cs
6. We will get trail.exe in the specified folder(ex: D:\csharp\), if it executed successfully
7. Double click the trail.exe and see the output.
8. We have successfully executed C#(C sharp) code without visual studio and with .NET Framework only
