You can run your C# program using CSharp compiler, CSC.exe. Check this article in MSDN for detailed steps.
Command-line Building With csc.exe[^]

To execute a C# file, you first have to compile it. The compiler's name is csc and can be found in %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v<version>. For example, the compiler for .NET 4.0 is in v4.0.30319.

To compile a C# file from the command line, do this:

C#

%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v<version>\csc file.cs /out:application.exe

After compiling it, you can execute the .exe file.
