How to compile just one file in c#?

Question

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#?

Answer 1

In command line: %windir%\Microsoft.Net\framework\V3.5\csc.exe /target:library File.cs

You could reasonably attach this to the solution explorers context menu through Tools->External Tools

set the arguments to /target:library $(ItemPath)

something like that might do what you want. Though the file would have to depend on no other files in the project or in referenced binaries aside from what's in the GAC.
