[thelist] How Do You Compile Code? (ASP.Net)

[Williams, Alice]

--
I'm pretty familiar with batch files, so all you would have to do is insert this line in a text editor, notepad will do then save it as anyname.exe.  Then you would run it from any dos screen or the run command in Windows.  just give the path when you run it.  However, it's obviously looking somewhere to run this line but where I can't tell.
Hopes this helps.

	Hi, Evolters...

	I'm trying to learn ASP.Net using Web Matrix. However, I'm stumped by
	something that is apparently extremely basic and obvious to everyone but me.
	I posted this question on the ASP.Net beginners forum, but have not received
	a reply (maybe they were laughing too hard to reply).

	I'm been working through the free WROX Web Matrix PDF tutorial and on page
	52 it says to Compile Classes.
	The instructions are as follows:

	<------------<snip>------------------------------------------------->

	Compiling Classes
	One thing that Web Matrix doesn't do is compilation, so we have to perform
	this manually. We
	simply create a batch file with the following in it (note that this command
	is all one line):

	vbc /debug /nologo /t:library /out:bin/DataLayer.dll /r:System.dll
	/r:System.Xml.dll /r:System.Web.dll /r:System.Data.dll Datalayer.vb

	Then we can run this batch file from the command line. This sort of thing
	would actually be
	quite a good add-in.

	<-----------</snip>--------------------------------------------------->

	How do I do I create a batch file in WinXP Pro?
	Where do I put it?
	After it's created, do I run it from the Start>Run menu?
	Do I need to create a /bin folder first?
	How do I decipher this line of code? If I had to create one of these from
	scratch, where can I go to learn how to do this?

	Many thanks...I've searched on Google using terms I thought were relevant
	and couldn't find a thing (not that the information doesn't exist).

	Regards, Pat
