Compile C# project with Emacs

Question

I use emacs to code and compile C# project.

My project folder contain:

--\test
----Helloworld.cs
----make.bat

Then I open Helloworld.cs in a buffer and M-x compile, emacs will compile project for me.

But if my project folder construction is like this:

--\test
----\src
------Helloworld.cs
----make.bat

Then I open Helloworld.cs in a buffer and M-x compile, emacs cannot find make.bat.

I have to locate make.bat for "compile command" in minibuffer.

Any help is welcome.

I used vs2010 at home. But sometime I have to use emacs in USB on other computers. And CEDET is heavyweight. Some cs files and a make.bat is fine for me. — coordinate

If ../make.bat works, then indeed it's a good option. If not, you can use cd ../; ./make.bat as your compilation command instead. You could even make Emacs look up the directory hierarchy for a make.bat file and add as many ../ as needed.

Thanks. "../make.bat" does not work. But "cd ../ & make" as compilation command worked.

emacs compile generally runs from the same directory that the source exists in. Set your M-x compile command to ../make.bat (or give it an absolute path) and everything should work.
