C# Compiler Options

The compiler produces executable (.exe) files, dynamic-link libraries (.dll), or code modules (.netmodule).

Every compiler option is available in two forms: -option and /option. The documentation only shows the /option form.

In Visual Web Developer 2008, you set compiler options in the web.config file. For more information, see <compiler> Element.
