How to compile C++ Projects from Command Line

I have to compile a Visual C++ solution from command line. I can't do it with devenv.exe but can install .Net Framework SDK. Can I use the solution and project files to compile from the command line? If so how?

If the .net framework SDK comes with msbuild, then just invoke:

msbuild mysolution.sln

That will cause a msbuild project to be generated from the solution, and the msbuild project will in turn instigate a call-out to vcbuild. All solution level and project level dependencies will then be resolved and built in-order as needed.
