Command line compiling...

[Papanii Okai]

Hi Guys,

I am trying to use the command line to compile a .cs file to a
dll. I am using the Windows SDK command shell for this. Below is the
command..



C:\Documents and Settings\Papanii Okai\Desktop>csc /t:library HelloWorld.cs
/reference:System.dll



I am referencing the System.dll because i am using System.ServiceModel in my
code but obviously it is wrong. Below is the error I am getting but I don't
know why?



Microsoft (R) Visual C# 2005 Compiler version 8.00.50727.42

for Microsoft (R) Windows (R) 2005 Framework version 2.0.50727

Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation 2001-2005. All rights reserved.



HelloWorld.cs(2,14): error CS0234: The type or namespace name 'ServiceModel'
does not exist in the namespace 'System' (are you missing an assembly
reference?)



I tried / reference System.ServiceModel.dll but I got the error.



error CS0006: Metadata file 'System.ServiceModel.dll' could not be found



Any help would be appreciated...

Papanii,

It appears you are trying to compile something for WCF.

From what I recall, the WCF assemblies are not in the framework
directory. You have to find the full path of the System.ServiceModel.dll
assembly that you are referencing and use that.

Hope this helps.
