A Really Easy .NET Question


Question

When I compile apps with Visual C#.NET, it compiles to .exe (when I want), so here is my question:

To run my applications that use .NET, do the client computers need to have the .NET Framework installed or does the compiler include everything needed?

yes, any client which you wish to run a .NET app on require the .NET Framework installed. Its a 20Mb download, and works in the same way as the VB runtime.

If you are using the program on a XP SP1 machine or later, then the .NET Framework is already installed, however if you are installing on '98 or 2000 you will need to package the framework with your application

As ramesees already stated, you do need the framework. As a small time, unprofessional, .net developer, I will warn you now that people will whine about having to download it. Just explain that .Net is slowly starting to pick up speed and that more and more apps wil lrequire it, anyway, in the long run.

There is a product out on the market by Remotesoft that will allow you to compile .net programs and distribute them without the .net framework. However I am not sure what it's costs are, probably not cheap.

And your right, its not cheap, I'm like bangbang023, a small time unprofessionial .net developer so the price is a bit out of my league, they should do a version for the single user like me that just enjoys OOP as a hobby !
