Hi,

i am developing an windows based VB.NET application.
I want to convert this project to an .exe format so that i
can run this application on any system. I have no clue as
how to do it, as it is done in VB.6.

Any suggestion regarding this would be highly appreciated.

thanks,
-sriram

windows projects in .NET already compile to an EXE format... should work on
any system that has Microsoft .NET framework installed.

Are you asking if you can create a .NET app that doesn't require the
framework?

TTBOMK, that is not possible.

Sriram,
In addition to Nick Malik's questions:

Do you mean compile a project?

Within VS.NET 2002 & VS.NET 2003, you use "Build - Build Solution" which
will create an assembly (exe or dll) based on the project type in the
project's output folder, normally the root folder of the project /bin.

For example for "My Project" the executable will be "My Project/Bin/My
Project.exe" after using "Build - Build Solution"

Hope this helps
Jay
