<tr><td><blockquote>
Compiles C# source into executables or modules. csc.exe must be on the execute path, unless another executable or the full path to that executable is specified in the <tt>executable</tt> parameter <p> All parameters are optional: <csc/> should suffice to produce a debug build of all *.cs files. However, naming an <tt>destFile</tt>stops the csc compiler from choosing an output name from random, and allows the dependency checker to determine if the file is out of date. <p> The task is a directory based task, so attributes like <b>includes="*.cs" </b> and <b>excludes="broken.cs"</b> can be used to control the files pulled in. By default, all *.cs files from the project folder down are included in the command. When this happens the output file -if not specified- is taken as the first file in the list, which may be somewhat hard to control. Specifying the output file with <tt>destFile</tt> seems prudent. <p> <p> For more complex source trees, nested <tt>src</tt> elemements can be supplied. When such an element is present, the implicit fileset is ignored. This makes sense, when you think about it :) <p> References to external files can be made through the references attribute, or (since Ant1.6), via nested <reference> filesets. With the latter, the timestamps of the references are also used in the dependency checking algorithm. <p> Example <pre><csc optimize="true" debug="false" docFile="documentation.xml" warnLevel="4" unsafe="false" targetType="exe" incremental="false" mainClass = "MainApp" destFile="NetApp.exe" > <src dir="src" includes="*.cs" /> <reference file="${testCSC.dll}" /> <define name="RELEASE" /> <define name="DEBUG" if="debug.property"/> <define name="def3" unless="def3.property"/> </csc> </pre>
