VB.NET Programatically Compiling Files

lamlam · 07-04-2009, 03:49 AM

Hey guys, I'm in need of some help. I want to know how to programatically compile VB.NET code files into a working EXE. It can be accomplished in VS8 using the "Build" menu, but I wish do it from the code itself. A class or preferably a WORKING example would be nice.

Thanks,
lamlam

Sorry, that wasn't much help to me but interesting find though...

It should be. It's the only way you're going to do it.
Call mono by the command line and it'll compile.

communist, you don't mind the fact that C#/.Net are proprietary technologies and there are possible patent infringement issues with this open source Mono implementation becoming mainstream? :\

That's not programmatically compiling... research VBCodeProvider... that's where you will find it. Note that you will need to have experience with assemblies themselves.

Hmm... if it uses all of it's own code then it's fine.
Also they are sponsored by Novell...
