-verbose
Causes the compiler to produce verbose status and error messages.
Syntax
-verbose[+ | -]
Arguments
+
| -
Optional. Specifying -verbose
is the same as specifying -verbose+
, which causes the compiler to emit verbose messages. The default for this option is -verbose-
.
Remarks
The -verbose
option displays information about the total number of errors issued by the compiler, reports which assemblies are being loaded by a module, and displays which files are currently being compiled.
Note
The -verbose
option is not available from within the Visual Studio development environment; it is available only when compiling from the command line.
Example
The following code compiles In.vb
and directs the compiler to display verbose status information.
vbc -verbose in.vb
