Batch files in windows do not get compiled. They get executed by a command processor.

You can use Process.Start to execute a batch file from within a C# program.

If I assume this is just a regular windows batch file, you could run it like this:

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start('myfile.bat');

That will return a Process object. From there you can get the output stream from the process and read whatever text the batch file writes to the console.
