Is this possible? Visual Studio 2003.

[Shapper]

Hello,

I am developing a web site with Web Matrix.
I use Web Matrix because I considerer it simpler and faster to use.

I also have Visual Studio 2003 but I haven't it installed.

I need to compile a simple .vb file:

vbc /t:library /out:common.dll common.vb
(Using VS 2003 command-line compiler as Juan help me in this forum)

Is it possible to compile this file without needing to install VS2003?

Thanks,
Miguel

Should be. Have you tried ? What problem do you have ?

(the compiler is part of the framework)

Yes, you do not need to install VS2003. The only thing VS2k3 provides you
with is "a" .Net IDE for faster development and compilation. I would
recommend you getting it though...or download 2k5 beta 2 (which I am now
building a security system with and it's quite awesome as far as feature
filled IDE's go )...just remember that 2k5 beta 2 compiles code on the
..Net Framework 2.0 and not 1.1.
