before powershell was brought to this world, i use .net framework to create
small executables (.exe) to resolve small problem. (exe file runs at cmd
prompt). I used to explore .netframework until powershell arrives and i
totally forgot how to write executables *sigh*

Is there any good book that jump start how to create small executables
(.exe) ?

I find .exe good for writing services, etc

You could download one of the free Visual Studio Express editions to do
that. Any book on Visual Basic.net or Visual C++ / C#.net worth its
programming salt will teach how to create small executables in its first
chapter.

Or if you want to create truly small executables then you'd need to look
back further in time eg to the earlier 'native' editons of Visual Studio.

Hi IT,


On a side note , in v2 you can dynamically compile C# code and produce console
applications:
