This problem was not answered in aspngcs. Thanks.

Problem:
I'd like to invoke CSC dynamically from within my running program. It fails,
I suspect because the cmd environment is not correct (e.g., path, libs,
etc.)

Description:
To do this I crate a processStartInfo object and set its FileName to
"cmd.exe" and I set its arguments property to "/c csc /target:library
<filename>.cs"

I then pass the ProcessStartInfo object to the constructor of a Process
object.

Help Requested:
The problem is that the compiler doesn't run. This is not a surprise,
Microsoft now includes a batch file vsvars32.bat to set up the environment
as needed. Is there a way to invoke a process from within the appropriately
established environment?

Thanks.

PS: copying csc into the right directory causes the compiler to run but then
it can't find the libraries it needs.

Don Box has an example available that compiles files using .NET Framework
classes: http://www.develop.com/dbox/dotnet/clrscript/

This avoids needing to execute any of the compile executables directly.
However, not knowing the context of what you're trying to do it's hard to
say if this will satisfy your needs. If it doesn't, I'm sorry for the
intrusion.
