I wrote in vbCb.vb:

Option Strict Off
Imports System
Imports System.Web.UI.WebControls
NameSpace myVbCodeBehind
Public class vbCb : Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
Public lstFlowers As System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListBox
Public lblMessage As System.Web.UI.WebControls.Label
Public btnSubmit As System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, Byval e As EventArgs)
if not Page.isPostBack then
lblMessage.Text="No Selection Yet"
lstFlowers.Items.Add(new ListItem("Tulip"))
lstFlowers.Items.Add(new ListItem("Rose"))
lstFlowers.SelectedIndex=0
end if
End Sub
End Class
End Namespace

When I build it the error I receive is:

C:\inetpub\wwwroot\test\vbCb.vb(3) : error BC30466: Namespace or type 'WebControls' for the Imports 'System.Web.UI.WebControls' cannot be found.

Imports System.Web.UI.WebControls

Public btnSubmit As System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button

if not Page.isPostBack then
~~~~

lstFlowers.Items.Add(new ListItem("Tulip"))
~~~~~~~~

lstFlowers.Items.Add(new ListItem("Rose"))

Thanks for anyhelp

I think you have to change your system variables of your machine. when you use VS.net, it is changed automatically. Since you create your own compilationfiles, you have to add the reference to the dll's of .NET to your system variables.

rightclick on "My Computer", go to properties > advanced > Environment Variables

Edit the 'path' system variable and add something like [quote];C:\winNt\Microsoft.Net\Framework\v1.1.4322</CODE>
which is the path where all .net dlls are situated (just like the vb.exe)

After you have changed it, you'll need to restart your machine.

Ok, I can build this file to dll.

The command correct is:

vbc /out:..\bin\vbCb.dll /t:library ..\vbCb.vb /r:System.Data.dll /r:system.dll /r:System.Web.dll

We save this code to a make.bat file and go to cmd prompt type make.bat for complile this file.

Thanks Steurm!
