CL Compilation ?[Resolved]

**Pirate** · Apr 19th, 2003, 02:06 PM

This is really weird ! I compiled(released) my proj from within the IDE , then worked fine(output dll ) with no errors .But with CL , I got like 30 errors or so and a msg said "Maximum number of errors has been exceeded" ? What might be wrong ?

**hellswraith** · Apr 19th, 2003, 02:09 PM

What kind of errors were reported?
When you compiled your app in the IDE, was there anything in the output window (I think that is what it is called - the one where it shows errors). Maybe there was warnings in the IDE, but the CL calls them errors...

**Pirate** · Apr 19th, 2003, 02:12 PM

in the IDE no errors , no warnings at all . CL didn't output any file .

**Pirate** · Apr 19th, 2003, 02:13 PM

I used this command , Wondering if I have to include specific directives .

vbc /target:library /out

Bdll.dll databaseclass.vb

**Pirate** · Apr 19th, 2003, 02:15 PM

Damn that face , it should be like this :

vbc /target:library /out:bdBdll.dll databaseclass.vb

**pvb** · Apr 19th, 2003, 02:24 PM

You need to include the /references command line switch and list all the dlls your project references. For example:

VB Code:

vbc /references:system.dll,system.web.dll /target:library /out:bdBdll.dll databaseclass.vb

The IDE does that for you behind the scenes.

**Pirate** · Apr 19th, 2003, 02:34 PM

It could be . brb .

**Pirate** · Apr 19th, 2003, 02:46 PM

No , it gives the same result . Look at the attachted image .(I know it doesn't clearly shows the errors but jpg would take more than 100k)

**pvb** · Apr 19th, 2003, 02:50 PM

It's underlining the stuff it doesn't know about, you need to include every dll your project references, doesn't system.data.dll contain the oledb/data stuff? that needs to be included in the references switch.

**hellswraith** · Apr 19th, 2003, 02:52 PM

Those are all just reference errors.
You are going to have to make sure everything has a reference when compiling it. You are leaving out the system.data namespace, the system.data.OleDb reference....etc...

**Pirate** · Apr 19th, 2003, 03:14 PM

I don't what's wrong now is what I'm doing correct?

It gives me the same error .

vbc /references:System.dll,System.windows.forms.dll,system.drawing.dll,system.data.dll,system.data.oledb. dll,system.xml.dll /target:library /out:mydbdll.dll databaseclass.vb

*bump*

**pvb** · Apr 20th, 2003, 10:05 AM

hmmm, well not sure what's goin on. I coded up a little test app and tried it and it worked like a champ(but i also don't know what alls in your code, my sample is REALLY simple), here are some screen shots.
Here's a shot of my ide.
And here's a shot of my command line params.

**Pirate** · Apr 20th, 2003, 10:32 AM

I got few errors now I think but no output !Can you figure out what's wrong again ?

**Pirate** · Apr 20th, 2003, 10:33 AM

Second Screen..

**pvb** · Apr 20th, 2003, 10:51 AM

Now it looks like it can't find any of the objects in the System.Windows.Forms.dll, did you include that in your /references switch list?

**Pirate** · Apr 20th, 2003, 10:54 AM

I did both of these with no luck :

vbc /t:library /out:bin/mydbdll.dll /r:System.dll,System.windows.forms.dll,system.drawing.dll,system.data.dll,system.xml.dll databaseclass.vb

vbc /t:library /out:c:\mydbdll.dll /r:System.dll,System.windows.forms.dll,system.drawing.dll,system.data.dll,system.xml.dll databaseclass.vb

**pvb** · Apr 20th, 2003, 10:58 AM

hmmm, if ya want post the file databaseclass.vb and i'll try to compile it, i'm kinda outta ideas.

**Pirate** · Apr 20th, 2003, 11:02 AM

It's regular Classfile contains all database methods ever . Sorry I can't post it here . I should tell you that it's attachted (added) to myproj (winforms) Do you think I should compile it by itself ?

**pvb** · Apr 20th, 2003, 11:05 AM

it's worth a try, maybe just create a new console app, add your databaseclass.vb file and the necessary references to make it compile in the ide then try it from commandline.

**Pirate** · Apr 20th, 2003, 11:08 AM

Yeah , it's worth it really . Well , actually the IDE compiled it but I just wanted to compile that in CL .
Thanks for your time anyways . brb

**Pirate** · Apr 20th, 2003, 11:51 AM

The problem now is with "Format" and "Now" keywords. It says , they are not declared . BTW , I replaced "msgbox" keywords with "MessageBox.Show" because I got errors sound it didn't find "msgbox" declaration .I believe that have to do with VisualBasic Namespace.

**hellswraith** · Apr 20th, 2003, 01:31 PM

The Microsoft.VisualBasic namespace is needed for those.

**Pirate** · Apr 20th, 2003, 03:02 PM

Yeeeeeeesssssss

, I got it . That's what I thought .
Thanks guys .

**Pirate** · Apr 20th, 2003, 03:38 PM

Hmm , that's really weird !

. How come when I run that within the IDE even without Import Visualbasic library , I get no errors but the opposite while CL Compilation ??

**hellswraith** · Apr 20th, 2003, 05:49 PM

If your using VB.Net in the VS IDE, then it automatically references that namespace for you.

**Pirate** · Apr 20th, 2003, 05:59 PM

I don't know really but have you seen that somewhere in the option menu ?

**hellswraith** · Apr 20th, 2003, 06:00 PM

It is one of the VB.Net's features.... It allows you to take advantage of all those VB things from VB6 without having to reference something first.

**Pirate** · Apr 20th, 2003, 06:03 PM

Yup hellswraith , that makes more sense now .

**hellswraith** · Apr 20th, 2003, 08:12 PM

Glad you got it all sorted out. I really dislike compiling from the command line...lol. Too much typing for me.
