    I rather think he has five source-files (.cs) that should be linked to a single executable. The IDE does that for us :)

    The question (as with so many) is somewhat open to interpretation. :(

      How can we write the long source of a program in 2 or 3 files and relate them together at build time.

      1. Design your application so that you can break the functionality into classes. Classes normally are rather small. This step has nothing to do with actually writing code. 2. Implement each class in a different file. 3. In C# you put all of the classes in a project which is then managed via a solution.

        Yes, but the wording "two or three files" are a give-away. ..with everybody recommending on how to distribute classes over multiple files :D

          Which is why I made the suggestion that I did.

            csc /out:My.exe *.cs

            Will compile all .cs files within that folder into My.exe. Snippet taken from MSDN[^].

              In addition to using *.cs you can also put the specific files:

              csc MyFirstClass.cs MySecondClass.cs etc.cs

              The name of the first will be used to name the output (i.e. MyFirstClass.exe in this case) unless you specify a /out: target. IDEs generally hide this away from you – are you writing code in a text editor? You don't normally need to do that, as there are good free IDEs available for .Net.

                You mean "in Visual Studio"; C# neither knows nor cares about projects and solutions.

                      Not at all; I gave an answer which may be the right one. If not then OP can respond with more details.
