MSBuild is the build tool for Microsoft Visual Studio.  Developers use MSBuild to build a Visual Studio project or solution file from a command line, batch file, build tool, or automated script. 

A new version of MSBuild.exe is included with each version of the .NET Framework stored in “%WinDir%Microsoft.NETFramework” on your Windows PC.  The MSBuild.exe path depends on the .NET Framework version used to build your project.  Typically you will want to call the most recent version of MSBuild.exe installed on your computer:

.NET v2.0:
%WinDir%Microsoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727MSBuild.exe

.NET v3.5:
%WinDir%Microsoft.NETFrameworkv3.5MSBuild.exe

.NET v4.0:
%WinDir%Microsoft.NETFrameworkv4.0.30319MSBuild.exe

MSBuild Command Line Reference

To scroll a C# TextBox to the cursor/caret, it’s important that the TextBox is both visible and focused, then call the ScrollToCaret method:

textBox.Focus();
textBox.ScrollToCaret();

To scroll to the bottom/end of a TextBox, set the SelectionLength to 0 to remove any selection, then set SelectionStart to the end of the text in the TextBox:

textBox.SelectionLength = 0;
textBox.SelectionStart = textBox.Text.Length;
textBox.Focus();
textBox.ScrollToCaret();
