I have a C# program that I can run just fine within Visual Studio but it doesn't work when I try compiling it using a console like Command Prompt (csc Program.cs) even after referencing the zkemkeeper.dll file and added the using directive as well (error shown in screenshot). zkemkeeper error message when attempting to compile C# code
I have found 3 solutions but none of them worked for me:
- Changing the C# version:
I couldn't do that since I'm targeting a specific .NET framework (v4.8.1).Couldn't change C# version
- Downloading and installing the ZKemkeeper NuGet package:
Didn't work.
- Changing the LangVersion to 'latest' in the .csproj file:
Didn't work.
Any help would be much appreciated.

CodePudding user response:
I've solved the problem by doing the following steps:
Changing the project type from Console App (.NET Framework) to Console App by creating a new project and moving over all progress made.
Publishing the project from Visual Studio to an external folder (Build -> Publish Selection -> Publish). Make sure to choose 'Framework-dependent' as the deployment mode.
Navigating to the same directory that contains the executable file within Command Prompt.
Executing the file from Command Prompt just like any other executable file.
