C# Compiler Options Listed Alphabetically
The following compiler options are sorted alphabetically. For a categorical list, see C# Compiler Options Listed By Category.
| Option | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Reads a response file for more options. | |
| Displays a usage message to stdout. | |
| Links the specified modules into this assembly | |
| Specifies the base address for the library to be built. | |

| Causes the compiler to generate overflow checks. | |
| Specifies the codepage to use when opening source files. | |
| Emits debugging information. | |
| Defines conditional compilation symbols. | |
| Delay-signs the assembly using only the public portion of the strong name key. | |
| Specifies an XML Documentation file to generate. | |
| Specifies how to handle internal compiler errors: prompt, send, or none. The default is none. | |
| Specifies the alignment used for output file sections. | |
| Causes the compiler to generate fully qualified paths. | |
| Displays a usage message to stdout. | |
