Compilation options

To compile for .NET managed code 32-bit add the following compiler directives to your command line, directives file, or in the Additional Directives box in Visual Studio.

ilgen
iltarget(x86)
ilref(MicroFocus.COBOL.XmlExtensions)
ilref(MicroFocus.COBOL.XmlExtensions.Interop)

To compile 64-bit change iltarget(x86) above to iltarget(x64). To compile a called subprogram change ilgen above to ilgen(sub); that will produce a DLL rather than an EXE.
