.NET SDK. How to compile a VB file?

[Shapper]

Hello,

I just installed Microsoft .NET Framework SDK v1.1.
(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...A6-3647-4070-9F41-A333C6B9181D&displaylang=en)

I need to compile to a DLL a VB file which has a class with some
functions.

I know that if I have Visual Studio 2003 installed I would do:
vbc /t:library /out:myFile.dll myFile.vb

Is vbc in Frameword DSK? I can't find it.

Thanks,
Miguel

Its there!!
You should find it in :-

c:\wiinnt\Microsoft.Net\Framework\(yourverison Number)e.g v1.1.432
Do "vbc /t:library /out:myFile.dll myFile.vb" from the command
And if using visual Studio just add it to your project and compile it it
would create one for you...

Hope that helps

There's a touch of deja vu in this...

Just open a command window ( cmd.exe );
make sure that the .Net Framework directory is in your path
( the .Net dir is where the vbc.exe compiler is located ) ;
navigate to the directory where you have your .vb files,
and run the compile command :

vbc /t:library /out:myFile.dll myFile.vb

myFile.dll will be created/compiled in the current directory.

Move it to the /bin directory of your application and fire away.
If you want to have VS.NET use it, reference it in your project.

Hi Shapper -

The command line compilers are part of the SDK. Is vbc.exe not in your
framework installation directory?
