I am assuming that you successfully downloaded the Framework. If your command line is not working, may I suggest you get a free IDE for C# called Sharp Develop availabe at www.icsharpcode.com.

It's size is not much compared to that of the .NET framework. It should make your development much easier and will always compile for you without you having to worry about all the switches and references the command line requires you to type.

Not having done much command line compiling in ages I hesitate in saying that the problem could also come from the fact that you are saying "csc.cs", I think this should be "csc.exe", plus the type of assembly you want, the name of the source project, or solution, the name of the target and the referenced libraries/assemblies.

I hope this helps. Happy coding.

P.S,

if you are going to be writing ASP.NET applications you might want to go and look at WebMatrix, a free tool made by Microsoft available at www.asp.net.

This is an IDE made for ASP.NET. In some cases it is better than Visual Studio but it's greatest disadvantage is that it doesn't have Intellisense (or at least the last time I saw it it didn't)

Happy coding
