Creating dlls

[tbcmartinharvey]

Could anyone help me with a problem

 

I am trying to compile a dll from the command line using vbc.exe.

I am using the following code:

 

vbc /t:Library Catalog.vb /r:System.Data.dll /out:bin/Catalog.dll and I keep getting the error message

 

vbc:?????? BC2001: ????'Catalog.vb'???????

 

Can anyone tell me what the problem is.

 

Many thanks

 

Martin

 

For reference the contents of the Catalog.vb file are as follows:

 

' Catalog.vb

Imports System.Data.SqlClient

NameSpace Worldshop

Class Catalog

Public Shared Function SP_GetBB() As SqlDataReader

' Create the connection object

Dim connection As New SqlConnection(connectionString)

' Create and initialize the command object

Dim command As New SqlCommand("SP_GetBB", connection)

command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure

' Open the connection

connection.Open()

' Return a SqlDataReader to the calling function

Return command.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection)

End Function

 

Private Shared ReadOnly Property connectionString() As String

Get

Return ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("ConnectionString")

End Get

End Property

End Class

End Namespace
