csc: Embed a resource.
$ csc /resource:${path-to-resource_file} ${path-to-input_file-cs}
try on your machine

The command "csc /resource:${path-to-resource_file} ${path-to-input_file-cs}" is a command that is used to compile C# source code files (.cs) into an executable or a library file.

Explanation of the command parts:

  • "csc": This is the command-line compiler for C# provided by Microsoft. It is used to compile C# code files into executable or library files.

  • "/resource:${path-to-resource_file}": This part of the command is used to add a resource file (such as images, icons, or other files) to the compiled output. The "${path-to-resource_file}" should be replaced with the actual path to the resource file you want to include. Resources can be accessed by the compiled program during runtime.

  • "${path-to-input_file-cs}": This part of the command specifies the path to the C# source file that you want to compile. The "${path-to-input_file-cs}" should be replaced with the actual path to your C# source code file that you want to compile.

By running this command, the C# compiler (csc) will compile the specified input file (.cs) and include the specified resource file. The output of the compilation will be an executable or a library file, depending on the content of the input file.
