How do you compile Visual Basic 2010/08 programs into stand-alone exes?
Visual Basic 2008/2010 IS a stand-alone exe file. If you have finished testing your application, switch to the release configuration. You should just know that your application would need a .Netframework 3 (2008) or 4 (2010) in the target machine to run properly. You could add a setup project to your solution to make your application installable on target machines.
