Native Compiler for VB
-
Ever since .net came around we have not been able to create an exe, or assembly that did not need the .net framework. Now with containers and smaller computing spaces available in .net it would be nice to have an optimized exe or service compiled to native code. Can this be done with Visual Studio or does ability belong to another compiler and no longer in Microsoft's abilities? I would like this to be done with the Microsoft, but if not I will need to search for another professional Basic that can do the job.

Almost. Seems this only works with Universal Windows Apps. No services, command prompt apps, OS event handlers etc. Microsoft is so close, but their insistence on WMA is a road block.
There is no other product that does this. There used to be another product quite a while ago, I think it was called something like "Salamander", but it cost about $2,000 and only worked with .NET 2.0 and below. As for another BASIC product, good luck with that. You're not going to find one that's any good.
