-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
