With VS2010's Default settings. No.
BUT you can always target .NET 2.0 in VS2010.
The C# Programming Language relies heavily on the .NET Framework, as that all the functions are provided by the framework.
Win XP SP2 comes bundled with .NET 1.1, so an update may still be required, and can not be avoided.
If you create your exe without the need for external files. It can be portable by making it standalone.
To do this, in VS2010,
- Right Click your solution
- Select properties
- go to the 'Assembly' Tab
- set the 'Target Framework' to .NET 2.0
- compile your project (run it)
- go to your projects debug folder. (usually *Project*\bin\debug\)
- copy the exe file there
You may want to download the .NET 2.0 installer as well to place with your standalone.
