Hi guys,

I have a question regarding the above topic title. Does anyone know of a program whereby it can convert vb.net into an application which others can run without having the need of installing vb.net on their computer Senorio case: I'm have a form, wanting a client from other part of the world to fill it in. The form is build in vb.net, he should be able to run the program and fill in the form without having to install vb.net. As vb.net is a space consuming program. **Maybe a program that is smaller can be used to run the application

I think you meant to post in one of the Visual Basic forums. .Net Compact Framework supports C# only.

I'm new to vb.net. I would like to know, which part of my application/program should I send to the other users Is it the whole folder or a certain file(s) And do you meant that the user should have the compact framework installed Is it called the .net Framework 1.0/1.1

Regards,
Melvin

Please ignore that last post. I was mistaken.

Do you mean that you want users to be able to run your managed application without the compact framework being installed I don't think this is avoidable.

You want to deploy the generated assembly or assemblies (probably with a cab file, which you can create a project for in Visual Studio), which will consist of your binary and any additional modules (like resource files).

The user will need to have installed at least the version of .Net Compact Framework you built your application against. So far versions 1.0 and 2.0 have shipped. There is no version 1.1 of the Compact Framework , although there is for the desktop framework.
