Hello Greg,
From your post, my understanding on this issue is: you wonder how to runthe Visual Basic compiler, and how to compile a project to exe with
vbc.exe. If I'm off base, please feel free to let me know.
For your first question, vbc.exe could be accessed in Visual Studio Command
Prompt (Windows Start menu -> All Programs -> Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
-> Visual Studio Tools -> Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt). If you
directly run vbc.exe in Windows Command Prompt (Windows Start menu -> All
Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt), vbc.exe is not added into the
Path environment variable by default, and we may get the error message:
VBC.exe is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable
program or batch file. If you want to run the vbc.exe in Windows command
prompt, please add the vbc.exe path
(C:\windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\[version]) to the Path environment
variable.
For you second question:
a). If you want to compile the project in command prompt with vbc.exe,
please refer to the sample command lines in MSDN article
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/4dehewf5(vs.80).aspx. For
instance, the command:
vbc /define:DEBUG=1 /optimize /out:File2.exe *.vb
will compile all Visual Basic files in the current directory, with
optimizations on and the DEBUG symbol defined, producing File2.exe
For more information about Visual Basic Compiler command options, see:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/s4kbxexc(vs.80).aspx.
b). If you want to compile the project in Visual Studio IDE, please choose
Build -> Build Project in Visual Studio menu bar.
c). The third option is to use msbuild. Apart from allowing you to build
Visual Studio projects within or outside the Visual Studio IDE, MSBuild
also provides you with the ability to customize your own build process by
exposing a rich API for programming custom tasks and loggers. Please refer
to http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms171479(vs.80).aspx to see how
to write a simple MSBuild project for a Visual Basic project.
Please let me know if you have any other concerns, or need anything else.
Sincerely,
Jialiang Ge (jialge@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, remove 'online.')
