Datadog Agent: A service that runs on your application servers, accepting trace data from the Datadog Tracer and sending it to Datadog. The Agent is not part of this repo; it's the same Agent to which all Datadog tracers (e.g. Go, Python, Java, Ruby) send data.
Datadog .NET Tracer: This repository. A set of .NET libraries that let you trace any piece of your .NET code. Supports manual instrumentation and can automatically instrument supported libraries out-of-the-box.

From a Developer Command Prompt for VS 2019:
rem Restore NuGet packages
rem nuget.exe is required for command line restore because msbuild doesn't support packages.config
rem (see https://github.com/NuGet/Home/issues/7386)
nuget restore Datadog.Trace.sln
rem Build C# projects (Platform: always AnyCPU)
msbuild Datadog.Trace.proj /t:BuildCsharp /p:Configuration=Release
rem Build NuGet packages
dotnet pack src\Datadog.Trace\Datadog.Trace.csproj
dotnet pack src\Datadog.Trace.OpenTracing\Datadog.Trace.OpenTracing.csproj
rem Build C++ projects
rem The native profiler depends on the Datadog.Trace.ClrProfiler.Managed.Loader C# project so be sure that is built first
msbuild Datadog.Trace.proj /t:BuildCpp /p:Configuration=Release;Platform=x64
msbuild Datadog.Trace.proj /t:BuildCpp /p:Configuration=Release;Platform=x86
rem Build MSI installer for Windows x64 (supports both x64 and x86 apps)
msbuild Datadog.Trace.proj /t:msi /p:Configuration=Release;Platform=x64
rem Build MSI installer for Windows x86 (supports x86 apps only)
msbuild Datadog.Trace.proj /t:msi /p:Configuration=Release;Platform=x86
rem Build tracer home directory for Windows.
rem Valid values for property `Platform` are `x64`, `x86`, and `All`.
msbuild Datadog.Trace.proj /t:CreateHomeDirectory /p:Configuration=Release;Platform=All
To build C# projects and NuGet packages only

To build everything and run integration tests
You can use Docker Compose with Linux containers to build Linux binaries and run the test suites. This works on both Linux and Windows hosts.
# build C# projects
docker-compose run build
# build C++ project
docker-compose run Profiler
# run integration tests
docker-compose run IntegrationTests
