Newbie to .Net
I am a VB 6.0 Programmer
I am using the Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition
I selected all options on the Installation.
Question:
How does one make a .exe with the Standard Editon of VB.Net
Does .Net allow for Standalone programs?
Thanks in advance

DotNet newbie here as well (not past the "browse the groups" stage yet
<g>)... just clearing up the "Stand Alone" part. No Windows app is truly
"stand alone". If it seems like it is, it's because the dependencies it
requires are so common that all Windows installations should already have
them in place.. in C/C++'s case, since Windows itself was written in those
languages, the dependencies are guaranteed to be present.. Having said that,
VB5/6 apps can be considered "Stand Alone" on any OS newer than NT4/SP4 (as
long as you're not using custom controls) and any .Net app can be considered
"Stand Alone" if the end users PC has the framework installed (as long as
you're not using custom controls).
