Step 1: Check if you really added the reference ;-)

Microsoft.VisualBasic.VBCodeProvider is located in System.dll, which is referenced for every new project. It seems to me as if you're not referencing Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll at all.

You need to add a reference to Microsoft.VisualBasic, not to the Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatability library.
