Compiling

[I_R_Lee]

I'm 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, it's quite easy. I've 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 I'll be writing a tutorial on this.
