The command "dotnet build" is used to build a .NET project or solution using the .NET Core CLI (Command-Line Interface). It compiles the source code files and generates the necessary output files to run the project.
In the command "dotnet build ${path-to-project_or_solution}", the "${path-to-project_or_solution}" is a placeholder that represents the actual path to the project or solution you want to build. You need to replace it with the actual file path.
For example, if your project is located in the folder "C:\MyProject", the command would look like: "dotnet build C:\MyProject".
By running this command, the .NET Core CLI will locate the project or solution at the provided path and initiate the build process. It will compile the source code, resolve dependencies, and generate the necessary output files, such as compiled binaries and intermediate build artifacts.
The "dotnet build" command provides useful information and feedback about the build process, such as warnings, errors, and compilation status. It helps you identify any issues or problems with your project and ensures that it is properly built and ready for execution or deployment.
