Deployment question...//Newbie in C#

[genc ymeri]

Hi,
I'm a newbie in C#. I have a "Hello World" application which all it does
loads a text file. The filename and its path (which is suppose to be loaded
in the form) may vary and its path is written in app.config file.

If I want to install my new app in another PC what should I do ? Should I
copy the exe file and the app.config file in the same directory while as far
I can see they are in the same one in my VS Solution?

How this it will work out ?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi genc,

The quickest way is to copy the .exe, app.config and any associated dll's (if you created any) to a new directory. The better way is to create a Deployment Project that installs it into a user's choice directory and does it all for you
