Does anybody know how to generate Make File in Visual Studio C# 2008 Express Edition?

+3  A: 

Make files have little to no use in .NET world. Rather, consider using MSBuild.

Do you have an example of generating makefile?
One more time: makefiles are nonexistent in .NET world.
Anton Gogolev
A: 

Makefiles are really used for cross platform compiling or working with other build systems. When you are working with C# you are only really going to be compiling with Microsoft's tools or using Mono on another platform, so I don't think that you can. An alternative could be NAnt however depending on what you want to use your Makefile for.
