VB.net stupid question

[delmer_1]

hey guys, a while back i created an application in vb 5. I since installed VB.net. I managed to convert it and open in in vb.net, but i can't figure out how to create the .exe file. This is a very simple program. (it is basically just a form with a few drop down boxes and check boxes. basically, it is a menu for subway, the people i work with, run this app, it has a form with which contains subway's meu items...they select what type of sandwich, bread, toppings, etc..then print it out. I take it to subway and order the food)

in vb5, i designed the forms, added items to the lists for the dropdown boxes, coded in the prices so it would keep a running total, with tax based on prices at our local subway. then there was an option to make an .exe. it was that simple.

I open it up in vb.net, made the changes i wanted (prices, bread choices..etc) I saved the project, but cant find where to make the .exe.

i tried to uninstall vb.net and install vb5 again, but when i try to install VB5, my ntvdm.exe takes up 99% of my CPU and never installs. so I am stuck with .net. any ideas?

I did an introduction course on VB.Net and they said that you have to have the .Net Framework installed on any computer that you intend to run your program on.


I think this is right. First open the program you created then Build=>Configuration Manager, change Active Solution Configuration to Release then close Config Manager.

Next, Build => Build Windows App

Then Save As xxxxx.

The .exe file should be in a folder called Release, which is in the OBJ file inside the file you saved your program in.

Hope this works for ya as I say I only did an intro course and that what a couple of months ago
