Well....I'm working on learning C# (see-sharp), and I do have background in programming if you just look at my profile I know; c++ (see-plus-plus), and Java along with Assembly, and a lot of others, but to the point I need help finding a command line compiler for C#, if anyone has any good Ideas I am open to any suggestions.

Command line compiler? You're saying this as if you didn't know IDEs are just a frontend to a command line compiler and are not actually compilers themselves. This is a lovely case for not teaching beginners c++, java, or visual basic. Too many abstractions leads novices to not knowing what goes on in the build process, leaving them tied to a specific product or platform.

So what are you trying to say...that I need to learn about IDE's and about the build process, I mean I took a Java and Adv. Java course at my high School, so I know a little bit about Ide's and the build process...but something I noticed you said "leaving them tied to a specific product or platform" and I would have to say you're absolutely right, I am kinda dependent on Dr. Java and JGRASP...but you still didn't answer my question.

If you have the .NET sdk, it comes with the compiler. You should see SDK command prompt if you go to start > all programs > Microsoft .Net Framework SDK 2.0. Just open that and type in "csc [name of file]".
Example: csc Hello_World.cs

Then you would have to add the directory where csc is to the system variable path if it isn't there.

Or, you could download Visual C# Express, and use that. It compiles, and it's a very good IDE, so boom.
