Compiling Your Project to Native Code
If you have the Professional or Enterprise edition of Visual Basic, you can
compile your code either in standard Visual Basic p-code format or in native
code format. Native code compilation provides several options for optimizing
and debugging that aren't available with p-code.
P-code, or pseudo code, is an intermediate step between the high-level
instructions in your Basic program and the low-level native code your
computer's processor executes. At run time, Visual Basic translates each
p-code statement to native code. By compiling directly to native code
format, you eliminate the intermediate p-code step.
