Simplest program ever - and does not work!

Hello all,

Just downloaded the .NET SDK and, to test it works, I
write this "Hello world" code:

Option explicit

Imports System

' A "Hello World!" program in Visual Basic.

Module Hello
Sub Main()
Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction.MsgBox("Hello, world!")
End Sub
End Module

It compiles fine and works. Now I replace the MsgBox
sentence with just

MsgBox("La vamos a liar")

and the compiler does not like it. It tells me 'Name
MsgBox is not declared'. So is not the import statement
working?

Given this symptom, what could be the problem?

Regards

re: Simplest program ever - and does not work!

Hi Angel,

Most of the visitors here are using Visual.Studio Net,
I am not sure if you are using that.

But you can try[color=blue]

Imports Microsoft.Visual.Interaction[color=blue]

MsgBox("La vamos a liar")[color=blue]

> End Module[/color]

Will maybe work, but I am not sure of that, because I never did compile
withouth Visual.Studio.Net (when you are using it, this will as far as I can
see now give no problem).

I hope this helpst,

You do not import Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction, you only import System.
Msgbox is not a member of Sytem.

Alternatively you can specify the imports when calling "vbc.exe"
("/imports:..."). Just type "vbc.exe" and see its command line
parameters.
