Compile C# from NPP
-
Hey guys, I’ve been fixated on this problem to the detriment of my other pursuits. I am trying to compile my c# code from npp using this guide… (https://dzone.com/articles/notepad-c-compiler-you-can-do)
When I do Run>run the message I get in cmd is that the source file cannot be found and a warning 2008 that no source has been specified. I’ve double checked and the .cs files are present in the folder I list in the path. Please Help

it might be that a space in the file path is breaking this,
did you try to encase $(FULL_CURRENT_PATH) in double quotes?
“$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)”If this doesn’t help submit what you put into run menu and where your files are.
In addition, I would recommend using nppexec instead of run menu anyway.Cheers

thanks for your help, this is what I input:
cmd /k csc.exe “$(C:\Users\user1\Documents\MyFiles\sample.cs)” -
the $ is only needed if a variable needs to be expanded not if you provide the path manually.
Cheers

Perhaps the best way to explain it so that it is understood is that instead of doing
cmd /k csc.exe “$(C:\Users\user1\Documents\MyFiles\sample.cs)”
You should do
cmd /k csc.exe “C:\Users\user1\Documents\MyFiles\sample.cs”
Make sure that works, then change it to how you really should do it, and that is, have your file – C:\Users\user1\Documents\MyFiles\sample.cs – active in an editor tab, and then invoke exactly this:
cmd /k csc.exe “$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)”

That did it, thanks Claudia :-)
