command line compile options

[Guest]

I would like to compile a class I have built to a library. I use the following command line:
vbc /reference:Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll /t:library /sdkpath:c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v1.1.4322 ClockControl.vb

But I get the following errors (not all are listed):
vbc /reference:Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll /t:library /sdkpath:c:\windows\microsof
t.net\framework\v1.1.4322 /imports:System,System.Drawing ClockControl.vb

This compiles correctly in the IDE but not from the command line. What I am missing?
Thanks,
Gary

Add a reference to "System.Windows.Forms.dll" and "System.Drawing.dll"...

Thanks, that took care of some of them. I still can't seem to get DateTime, Point, and Graphics, even though I am referencing System.Drawing.dll, etc
Any other clues?

Gary,

Try adding

/imports:System

to the command line, or

Imports System

to the source file.
