I want an application developed in C# to be used on any computer _without_
the client computer needing the .NET framework. I have build a sample
application that I want to be able to quickly show to people. I will plug
in a ThumbDrive with my app on it, and then execute my application. I don't
want to have to force people to install the Framework and reboot if they do
not have the .NET framework installed.
Is this possible? and how?
Thanks,

This is not possible using C#. You will have to use C++ in order to build an
app that does not rely on the .NET Framework.
HTH,

You're out of luck. It's not going to happen - at least, not at the
moment.

Right. We used to do all our development in Java, but I did not know you
could bundle the J2EE with a deployed application. I always thought you had
to at least have the Java runtime installed on the destination computer.
Anyway, we shifted to C# for a lot of the COM interop possibility, and for a
myriad of other reasons. We like the way Properties work, our development
uses a lot of Reflecion, and Properties fit our object model very well.
I was afraid of this, and my boss won't be too happy. But I will try to set
something up that will ease the pain.
Thanks.

Nope - your installation can do all that. Sun's JRE is free to
redistribute. Now as for a free J2EE server... you'd have to go with
JBoss or something similar.

You can redistribute the .NET framework too. It may be reasonably big,
but it's free to redistribute.

Sorry...I meant the JRE instead of J2EE. So the JRE has to be installed on
a machine before any Java apps can be run. but it is freely distributable.
I thought you meant that I could just bind the Java App with the JRE, and
run the Java App without having to install the JRE first.

Well, it has to be present. It doesn't have to be installed as such -
you can run the JRE just by having the right files in the right places.
I thought you meant that I could just bind the Java App with the JRE, and

Yes - see above. On the other hand, if every app does that, you end up
with a lot of JREs! One thing some installers allow is to ask the user
to select an existing JRE, or install one for them to be used by that
app and others, or place one in the app's directory just for its own
use.

I assume it means that the xml document containing it is

types. In other words, it doesn't use an external dtd to validate any
