Compiling

[I_R_Lee]

Im thinking of making a basic Visual Basic IDE thingy for fun. I was wondering how you compile your code, through code or with the command prompt.

Through code, its quite easy. Ive created an IDE supporting both VB.NET and C# myself.

Dim myCodeCompiler As ICodeCompiler = New VBCodeProvider().CreateCompiler

You can then use the methods of ICodeCompiler to compile code from files or strings in memory. At some point in the near future Ill be writing a tutorial on this.
