Can you compile a C++ file from another program to produce assembler output?

Question

Is there a way to compile a C++ file from C#, assuming the compiler (G++ or VC++) is installed on the computer?

Answer 1

You should be able to take the same compiler call that you would make in the command line and recreate it using the Process class. The MSDN page has examples of how to use Process.

Answer 2

Yes you would just invoke the c++ compiler with the proper arguments. However there are tools custom built to do just this Make and msbuild for example so I would doubt that a new tool would better serve you.
