Visual Basic command-line compiler

The dotnet build command now replaces the Visual Basic command-line compiler (VBC) as the primary tool for compiling programs outside the Visual Studio integrated development environment (IDE). This section contains descriptions for the Visual Basic compiler options.

Every compiler option is available in two forms: -option and /option. The documentation only shows the -option form.
