I stumbled upon the vbc compiler, but have had little success finding any
supporting information. Neither VB Express help, internet searches nor books
on Amazon.com contained any significant information. Is vbc useful?

Only if you want to compile a program...

vbc.exe is the actual compiler for Visual Basic .Net without it you
would never be able to turn your code files into an executable. It is
included in the framework and can be used to directly compile text
files (like ones you may want to write in Notepad or other editor).
The Vb2005 ide will set the appropriate command line arguments for you
(based on the settings you make in the ide) and invoke vbc.exe, hiding
the dirty details from you.

Thanks,

Seth Rowe
