Access Visual Studio Developer Command Prompt from regular Command Prompt

Question

This related question shows how to build and run a Visual Studio solution from Visual Studio Developer Command Prompt. My question is, is it possible to build and run a Visual Studio solution directly from the regular Windows Command Prompt (cmd.exe)?
