If you're trying to deploy an ASP.NET site written in VB, you should
probably precompile the website on .NET so that you don't have to depend
on Mono's VB compiler. 

I don't have/use VWD, but in Visual Studio Standard, you can use the
Build -> Publish Website menu option to precompile and publish from
within the IDE.  Just be sure to *uncheck* the "Allow this precompiled
site to be updatable" to ensure that you don't publish the VB code, as
well.

If this doesn't work for you, or VWD won't allow you to do this in the
IDE, you can use the command line option:
aspnet_compiler -f -p c:\path\to\webapp -v /webfolder c:\path\to\output
