In VC++ I can press CTRL+F7 to compile a single file, or right click on a source file ot compile it. Is it possible to compile a single file (or current file) in C#?
I would like to for example know if my current file has any errors in it without having to compile everything.
Yes, this can be done using the Mono .NET Framework. At the command prompt, run mcs path/to/file.cs.
From the Mono docs:
To compile, use csc:
csc hello.csNote: csc compiler is not available on all platforms or in very old Mono versions, in such cases use mcs instead.
The compiler will create “hello.exe”, which you can run using:
mono hello.exe
