Does Visual Studio literally make a commandline call to csc.exe?

[sherifffruitfly]

Hi all,

When I compile my C# solution (or any other, I suppose) with shift-
ctrl-B, does Visual Studio make a commandline call to csc.exe? How can
I get (like copy to clipboard, say) the exact commandline that I'm
asking VS to execute when I hit shift-ctrl-B?

Thanks,

cdj

You can also look at the output window and select Build from the drop-
down and you can see the command line there.

To answer the original question, for those who might find it curious -
actually, no, VS does not in fact call csc.exe, even though it
pretends that it does:

Thanks for the extra level of detail!
