Help compiling dll file using vbc.exe (web services)

[meckeard]

Hi all,

I am trying to compile my .vb web service file into a dll as described here (see step 3):

http://www.dotnetjunkies.com/Tutorial/4D13CEFA-D0FD-44BE-8749-8D17B5757564.dcik

Here is what I am using in the command prompt:

"C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\vbc.exe" /t:library /out:C:\Inetpub\

http://wwwroot\WebService1\bin\appwebservices.dll

C:\Inetpub\

http://wwwroot\WebService1\bin\appwebservices.vb

/reference:System.dll,System.Data.dll,System.Web.dll,System.Web.Services.dll,System.XML.dll /optimize

It appears to work. The command window opens briefly and then closes. However, when I search for the compiled dll, I cannot find it.

Anyone know why?

Thanks,
Mark

Hi, this wont really help, but compiling the web service will not make it any faster.

I recall reading this somewhere, but that's not why I am doing it. Everything that I have read references the file being compiled into a DLL, so I am just trying to go along with the code samples.

ASP.NET should compile it automatically the first time it gets called. As a result, the first time you call it, it'll be somewhat slow, but afterwards it will run at full speed.

it's not because your command windows disapears immidiatly that it has completed succesfully.

you should open a dos window an compile it in there. and then watch the errors he produces.

Christiaan,

It produces no errors. This is all I see:

Microsoft (R) Visual Basic .NET Compiler version 7.10.3052.4
for Microsoft (R) .NET Framework version 1.1.4322.573

Thanks,

it seems ok perhaps it has saved it to a different directory (don't ask me why). did you try a search on the c to fin the dll?

Christiaan,

Yes, I searched the entire C drive and I cannot find the DLL.
