So I'm new to C# and programming and just wrote my first C# script. So now how do I run it? Do I just save it as a .bat file and run it that way? Ultimately, I want to schedule this to run via windows task scheduler.

4C# script? As far as I know, there are no C# interpreters - you need to compile your program into an executable. How have you written your C#? What IDE are you using? – Oded Apr 11 '13 at 13:29

found it but it opens up as an XML config file – lightweight Apr 11 '13 at 13:36

There are several files. There is a `.config` file with the name of the program, and also a `.exe` - that's the executable. – Oded Apr 11 '13 at 13:39

You mean a C# program, not script, right? Just use a console application project, and call it (the executable) from scheduler.
