I have netframework installed on my system. I created a folder "test" on my C:\ drive. I have a file named "Hello.cs" saved in that directory "C:\test" . Please let me know how to compile this Hello.cs file. I am new to C#.
Thanks

If you only have the .NET Framework, you only have what is required to
run .NET applications. If you want to develop/compile .NET apps, you'll
need the .NET SDK which includes the C# compiler (csc.exe) as well as
the VB.NET compiler (vbc.exe):

No, the framework includes both of those already. You can compile
VB.NET and C# with just the framework installed. Just put the
appropriate directory (eg c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.Net\Framework\v1.1.4322)
on the path, and run csc.exe to see the options.

I have a getting started page which lists how to get going without VS net
here http://www.publicjoe.f9.co.uk/csharp/csharp01.html. This includes
everything to download including a free IDE called sharpdevelop

Also a bit about command line compiling here
http://www.publicjoe.f9.co.uk/csharp/cs04b.html

and finally how to hack VC6( if you have it) to edit and compile C#
applications here
http://www.publicjoe.f9.co.uk/csharp/useful/hacking.html

Hope this helps

Interesting. Now I want to dig into the SDK and see what the extra 100
megs is for...
