I can't get the command-line compiler to work. I get the following error messages when I use the compiler on a blank Windows Form by typing "vbc.exe Form1.vb" from the Visual Studio .NET Command Prompt (i.e., C:\Program Files\Visual Studio .NET\Common7\Tools\vsvars32.bat):

vbc : error BC30420: 'Sub Main' was not found in 'Form1'.
c:\test01\Form1.vb(3) : error BC30002: Type 'System.Windows.Forms.Form' is not d
efined.

c:\test01\Form1.vb(35) : error BC30456: 'Text' is not a member of 'Form1'.

Me.Text = "Form1"

Obviously I'm doing something wrong. Can somebody please help? Also, my ultimate goal is to compile my program using ngen.exe so please let me know if using ngen is any different than vbc.

Thanks to anyone who can help. I've wasted more time than I'd like to admit on this problem. Lance
