how to compile a project

hi guy's
first a bit about me
it has been 20 years since i last wrote any code (anyone old enough to remember the vic 20) when i herd about visual c# 2005 express, i thought this could be fun and it has been a blast relearning and playing with it.

ok now for my problem i have written a few simple apps just for the fun of it and to see what i can do, i have run them all just in debug mode ( f5 ) as i did not want to keep or share any of them as i said they where just to learn. so now i have something i would like to keep and need to know is there a compiler buit into visual c# 2005 and if so where and how do i use it, if not can somone plz recomend one that i can use thanks.

    Hi,

    What specifically do you mean by compile Do you mean create an exe or create a set-up project for deployment If you mean the later, then yes, in fact everytime you run your program, an exe is created in your <projectDirectory>\Bin\Debug folder.

    If you want to create a setup, you could do it by creating a setup project, File->New->Project just navigate and find setup project.

    In case if you want to redistribute your exe, be sure that you include the framework...
