Hi Guys
NP75 Query about path
In a book under a following heading a path is given. I wish to know whether it is a correct path. Because the only possible path available in my computer is:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\SDK\v1.1\Bin>
But this is not producing desired result for al -? Query.
Anyone knows please explain.
Thank you
Configuring Additional .NET Command Line Tools
Now, before we begin to investigate manipulating csc.exe, add the following additional Path variable to the System Variables list box (again, performing a sanity check to ensure path settings):
As you will see later in this text, this path contains additional command line tools
(such as sn.exe, al.exe, wsdl.exe and so forth) that are commonly used during .NET
development. With these two path settings established, you should now be able to run any .NET utility directly from the command line. If you wish to confirm this new
setting, close any open command window, open a new command window and enter
the following command to view the flags for the assembly linker utility, al.exe:
al -?

The path given in the book is for Visual Studio .NET 2002 so it was probably written before Visual Studio .NET 2003 came out.
However, that shouldn't stop the command al -? from working as all that does is to list all the command line options available for the assembly linker.
