WebMatrix compilation into dll/exe

Discussion in 'WebMatrix' started by TOMatDISCOUNT, May 13, 2003.

  1. Dear Experts, has anyone tried to build a client/server version of WebMAtrix-based server application? I wonder if the same screens and logic can be compiled and run at client side i.e. in Windows2000?

    Any idea? IF yes, are there any free compilers to do so?

    Cheers,Tom

  3. Hi Brian, yes it does. (see http://www.asp.net/webmatrix/ )

    Documentation states that
    "Unlike Visual Studio.NET, Web MAtrix does not automatically compile class files into assemblies. This has to be done from the command line."

    So .NET platform comes with a command line vbc.exe compiler.
    And my question is:
    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    Is it possible to use the VBC to compile a 'regular' executable file for Windows based on classes designed with WebMatrix? If yes, is it any runtime necessary to fire it without a 'web' environment?

    Let me know, if you or any of your friends have tested it, please.

    Cheers, Tom
