.Net framework SDK

[fayazmd]

Hi,

I read that exe n dll save info in MSIL and you need .Net framework SDK to execute it (to convert MSIL to binary code). Now, if i am creating a windows application and i am using that exe in a system where i dont have .Net SDK, whether it will execute or not. Is .Net SDK is req for execution? Hw abt games created in .net windows application should run without even SDK.

You need tools to compile a .Net compliant program. To run it you need the .Net runtime. Its something similar to java's virtual machine.

So any application built with the .Net framework can only be run on a system with the .Net library / framwork / runtime installed.

When you make a .net application, you are using a lot of componenets which are defined in the SDK. So if you are going to call methods / modules of the SDK you need the runtime for the program to run

You can think of it like this:
SDK is needed for creating
Framework is needed for running.

Ok. I have developed a game in .net windows appl. I want to execute that exe globally, in all systems. Hw can i make it?

Make sure they have the correct framework on the system.
I would say it's relatively safe to say all windows systems have at least .NET1.0(maybe 1.1) on them.
MS has been pushing to have at least .NET2.0 on them, but not everyone does (I have one system without it myself)
