Building a single component assembly

[John]

I am trying to build a single component assembly from
a .vb file. At the command prompt, I try to use the "vbc"
command as described in the .Net help files and get an
error message that the "vbc" command is not recognized by
the WINDOWS operating system.

What happened to the "vbc" command? Also, the help file
says that you can use the IDC to do this but doesn't say
how.

I am running an Enterprise version of .Net supplied as
part of an MSDN subscription. My operating system is
Windows 2000, Pentium 4.

Thanks,

John

Make sure you use the "Visual Studio .NET Command Command Prompt"
shortcut available in the VS.NET program group on the start menu to
open the command prompt - that will set up the environment for you.

Vbc.exe is located in %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.x.yyyy
