Consider the following example code. class Program { static void Main( string[] args ) { DoSomethingWithAction( i => { Console.WriteLine( "Value: {0}", i ); } ); Console.ReadLine(); } private static void DoSomethingWithAction( Action<int> something ) { Console.WriteLine( something.Target == null ? "Method is static." : "Method is not static." ); something( 5 ); } } If I compile and run this code under Debug using the Visual Studio 2010 (under CSC compiler) it will print out the following result: Method is not static. Value: 5 If I compile the same code in Visual Studio 2010, but this time

How can a single .NET assembly, targeting 2.0, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, and 4.5 concurrently, support extension methods for both C# and VB.NET consumers? The standard suggestion is to add this: namespace System.Runtime.CompilerServices { public sealed class ExtensionAttribute : Attribute { } } This the approach suggested by more than one Microsoft employee and was even featured in MSDN magazine . It's widely hailed by many bloggers as having 'no ill effects'. Oh, except it will cause a compiler error from a VB.NET project targeting .NET 3.5 or higher. The authors of Microsoft.Core.Scripting.dll figured

I am trying to make a simple c# program using Growl C# API . I tried to compile my program in two different ways: 1) I kept my .dll file in the same directory as my .cs file.

Now when I try to compile it using the below command csc /r:"D:\Modified\Growl_NET_Connector_SDK\libraries\growl\Growl.Connector.dll","D: \Modified\Growl_NET_Connector_SDK\libraries\growl

Is there a way to get path for the latest .NET Framework's csc.exe? The file usually in: c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\vX.X.XXX but the problem is there can be multiple versions installed + there are both 32 and 64 bit versions. Any solution to this? c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\vX.X.XXX Should contain the latest 32 bit version of csc.exe c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\vX.X.XXX Should contain the lastest 64 bit version of csc.exe That's what it is for mine anyway. BTW: You can access both by using the Visual Studio Command Line from your visual studio tools folder in your

I want to build projects from the command line. Is it possible to deploy a C# compiler without installing Visual Studio ? Sure, the framework includes a compiler, csc.exe. Look at this article for a quick how-to. The important parts: You can get the command-line compiler (csc.exe) from Microsoft site http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/netframework/aa731542.aspx . Download the redistributable package of the .NET Framework, which includes the compiler and the .NET Framework with C# 2005 syntax support. The compiler is located in the following directory: %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\ Also look
