Okay according to the manual you can either develop in the IDE or use a text editor. Used a text editor yesterday to knock up a quick prog to loop through a database and verify everythings kosher.

When tried to compile in DOS (the net the command window thingy), it was claiming l needed System.Xml, added that and it still didn't work.

Cut and pasted the code directly into an empty IDE console project and it worked no problems.

What's the skinny on this, always use the IDE or what
