Lol!!!

Ok...
You Hit The Tabe "File" At The Top
Then Scroll Down To Where It Says
Make Project1.Exe

:lmao2: :lmao2:
Also,
The Build option compiles your code into an executable file.

Firstly ignore that post above, he didnt read that this is vb.net (der)

Step 1: select config meny

Step 2: select release in config menu

Step 3: select build application (whatever the name of yours is

Step 4: in the projects location goto bin folder (or obj folder)

Step 5: then choose the release folder

Step 6: theres your project .. whatever name it is

Step 7: use thanks button and add rep if this post helped you.

Ohh Thanks Buddy Puddy. You explained very well. Ok i hav a question in release folder we hav da exe of da project, if i wanna send it to some 1 den do i hav to send all da files in release folder or just da exe. Also i wanna know how to change da Icon of my exe application in Vb.net

You only need to send the exe unless your using costom resource files, the person you give the program to will need to have the .net framework installed which takes care of any missing files.

To add a icon to a form do the following:

1. Make sure you have the form properties selected
2. Scroll down to where it says icon and click the browse button and then navigate to the icon you want to use as shown in the picture below

Appriciated the way u explain everything so clearly. Now i can make exe of my projects to distribute amoung friends. Ok what is Deployment? is this another method to make exe's? About Deploying---->[Only registered users can see links. ] . If u know abt that method den also tell me bcoz m not able to understand abt that.

Edited..Post >>Dont know y cant i edit my post....ok after making da exe i hav sent it to my friend. hez getting error. window can't run dis program. my question is like is their necessary to hav .net framework installed to run da EXE file?. even if we make booter and send to some1 den again .net framework is required.

Sry for da double post cuz i cant edit da file.
