visual basic compiler - command not recognized 1

[davikokar]

hallo,
I'm trying to compile a .vb control on the command line (c:/../) but I get this message: "vbc" is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
The command line I use is this:
vbc /t:library /out:..\bin\customcontrols.dll /r:system..dll /r:system.web.dll customcontrol1.vb


do you know what is going on?
thanks for suggestion

I would suspect that the vbc file is not in the directory where you are running the command from. Try opening the command window and navigating to the folder the vbc file is in first.

ca8msm is right, I'd set path variable so you could compile from any directory you are working in.
To set your path you would go to control panel select system then the advanced tab then click Environment Variables and edit the path variable. Add the path of the framework\version
My framework lives in C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322
So I added ;C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322 to the end if the path variable, the ; is a delimeter.
