sharing VB files, how to?

[dchaney297]

Hello all,

I have a question that has bugged me for years, and as a new (to VB anyway) programmer I have to ask it. So please forgive me if its been asked here before, or its a stupid question

After I am finished coding my program, and I have something that I want to release and or just share, how do I make it so that I can share it?

My platform is VB.net

I understand that in previous version of VB there was a command to "Create an executable" but I can find no such thing in the .net enviroment.

Thanks all,

David

In VB.NET, every single time you debug or run the program, you
are compiling it to an EXE. If you look in the projects folder, it will
be in the subfolder Bin.

To correctly distribute a VB.NET application, you need to create a
new Setup Project or Setup Wizard and work from there.
