ICodeCompiler and Forms with Images

[Wolfgang Link]

hello group,
for my VB.NET application I need a console app. to compile them.
But I get a MissingMethodException on the device / emulator.

The testproject is very simple:
- place one picturebox with an image on the form
- in form_load place: msgbox("Hello world")

If I compile it with VS it works fine.
If I compile it with my console app. the error occurs.
If I compile it with my console app. without the messagebox it works
fine.

Whats wrong ?

Here is my console app. code:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
....
Dim cdp As CodeDomProvider
cdp = New VBCodeProvider

Dim compiler As ICodeCompiler = cdp.CreateCompiler()
Dim cpParameters As CompilerParameters = New CompilerParameters
With cpParameters


.OutputAssembly = "resTest"

.GenerateExecutable = True
.MainClass = "resTest.frmStart"

.IncludeDebugInformation = False
.GenerateInMemory = False
.WarningLevel = 3
.TreatWarningsAsErrors = False
.TempFiles = New TempFileCollection("temp", True)

'// Resourcen angeben
strResourcen = "/resource:resTest.frmStart.resources "

'// Imports:
strImports = "Microsoft.VisualBasic,"
strImports &= "System,"
strImports &= "System.Data,"
strImports &= "System.Collections,"
strImports &= "System.Configuration,"
strImports &= "System.Drawing,"
strImports &= "System.Diagnostics,"
strImports &= "System.Windows.Forms"


.CompilerOptions = "/netcf /target:winexe
/rootnamespace:resTest /optimize /optionstrict- /optionexplicit+
/optioncompare:binary /recurse:test\*.vb " & strResourcen & "
/debug:full /imports:" & strImports

strPath = "c:\Programme\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
2003\CompactFrameworkSDK\v1.0.5000\Windows CE\"
.ReferencedAssemblies.Add(strPath & "mscorlib.dll")
.ReferencedAssemblies.Add(strPath &
"Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll")
.ReferencedAssemblies.Add(strPath & "System.dll")
.ReferencedAssemblies.Add(strPath & "System.Data.dll")
.ReferencedAssemblies.Add(strPath & "System.Drawing.dll")
.ReferencedAssemblies.Add(strPath &
"System.Windows.Forms.dll")
.ReferencedAssemblies.Add(strPath & "System.Xml.dll")
End With

Dim cr As CompilerResults =
compiler.CompileAssemblyFromSource(cpParameters, "")

There is no support of VBCodeProvider/ICodeCompiler for CF (see Version
Information in the link below):
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.visualbasic.vbcodeprovider.createcompiler.aspx

Also it seems that you created the "Windows Application" instead of
"Smart Device Application".

Thank you, but is there another chance to compile netcf code without
the VS Studio IDE ?
With a dos batch or other ... ?
