    Yes you can - to compile you would run a batch file something like this:-


    VB6.EXE /m pathtoproject


    This compiles a visual basic project based on the settings in this vbp file so your program wouldn't have many options however open a command prompt and go to your vb folder then type vb6 /? and you'll get complete info on command line otions. .Net is cool because you can literally go into notepad and code a vb.net form and then compile it whereas the above needs a visual basic project file.
