using command line to compile.

[cory1]

I am having trouble compiling a program from the command line. I usually don't use the command line, but I would like to familiarize myself with it a little. I am trying to compile the file named "CppTextReader.cpp" and I am trying to pass the file "volcanoes.xml" to the program. I tried doing this like so -> 'cl CppTextReader.cpp volcanoes.xml' What am I doing wrong. It keeps giving me the error 'cl : Command line warning D4024 : unrecognized source file type 'volcanoes.xml', object file assumed


#include "stdafx.h"

#using <mscorlib.dll>
#include <tchar.h>
#using <System.xml.dll>

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Xml;

// This is the entry point for this application
int _tmain(int argc, char* argv[])
{
// Check for required arguments
if (argc < 2)
{
Console::WriteLine(S&quot;Usage: CppTextReader path&quot;
return -1;
}

String* path = new String(argv[1]);

try
{
// Create the reader...
XmlTextReader* rdr = new XmlTextReader(path);
}
catch(Exception* pe)
{
Console::WriteLine(pe->ToString());
}
return 0;
}

Hi,

First you must compile it, &quot;cl cpptextreader.cpp <enter>&quot;
If compiling was successfull, you can run it as much as you want, &quot;cpptextreader volcanoes.xml <enter>&quot;
