how do you make a stand-alone program in Visual C#.net 2003 that can be used by people who do not own visual studio, or any programming language for that matter

[Key points in bold]

There needs to be a distinction in your mind between the framework, the language, the compiler, and the development environment. * Smile | :) The language is the syntax, grammar, and conventions that define how the code is written and interpereted. The compiler turns the code given to it into an executable file or library (called an assembly in the .NET world). The development environment is the application you use to help you create programming projects.

A framework (loosely defined) is a core library that you use to build your applications. ** The .NET framework happens to be an integral part of the C# language - it doesn't function without it. Because of this, the .NET framework must be installed for your applications to run. The .NET framework is a free redistributable, and should not be confused with VS.NET, which is MS's development environment for .NET, and which costs a fortune.

Sorry for being a bit long-winded, but I just wanted to make sure things are clear for you. Smile | :)


* You may already know some of this, but just in case... Wink | ;)
** OK, I can just see myself being corrected by the "purists". FYI, I have read Marc Clifton's "What is a Framework?".
