Thanks Ian. I have resolved the problem. I downloaded the latest nightly build so that I could automatically use the 1.1 framework and everything works. (My machine doesn't have 1.0 installed) Now that they are building however, the VBC produces an 80kb binary while the SOLUTION and IDE both produce a 164kb binary. I assume I am missing something in my VBC build script.
