Compiler Provider Options

I am using the compiler: Microsoft.VisualBasic.VBCodeProvider

What are the different options I can specify using <providerOption>?

So far I have:

<system.codedom>
<compilers>
<compiler language="vb;vbs;visualbasic;vbscript" extension=".vb"
warningLevel="4" type="Microsoft.VisualBasic.VBCodeProvider, System,
Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089">
<providerOption name="CompilerVersion" value="v3.5" />
<providerOption name="OptionInfer" value="false" />
<providerOption name="WarnAsError" value="false" />
</compiler>
</compilers>
</system.codedom>

Hi MMC,

As far as I know, VBCodeProvider only has three provider options:
CompilerVersion, OptionInfer and WarnAsError, which you have already listed.

What the VBCodeProvider does is:
1. It will check the CompilerVersion to determine to use which compiler
(3.5 or 2.0).
2. It will check WarnAsError. If this option is set to true, the provider
will set compiler option "/warnaserror+" to the compiler. If the option is
false, it will set compiler option "/warnaserror-".
3. It will check OptionInfer. If this option is set to true, the provider
will set compiler option "/optioninfer+" to the compiler. If the option is
false, it will set compiler option "/optioninfer-".
For detail of VB compiler options, please refer to
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/c03639ab.aspx.
Note: Since C# compiler doesn't support "/optioninfer", so it only has
CompilerVersion and WarnAsError provider options.

For the detail of provider options, please refer to
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb397730.aspx.
As it said, CodeDOM code provider implementers can process custom options
by providing a constructor that takes a providerOptions parameter of type
IDictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>). The provider options are treated as a
key and value dictionary in the provider. And in the VBCodeProvider, it
uses the three keys (CompilerVersion, OptionInfer and WarnAsError).

Hope it helps.
