C# Deployment

Aaditya Ganesan

Hey Guys,

I have a Windows C# form developed and I am looking forward to deploy the form, but the constraint is not all the computer in my company has visual C# installed in them, so is it possible for me to deploy the windows form as web form and the form just works without the software being installed in the local computer.

Thank you in advance

Aaditya

Go to "Build | Configuration Manager" and change the configuration to Release. Rebuild the project; it will be automatically rebuilt if you just do a build. After that, there will be a Release directory in the project directory alongside the Debug directory. The release build does not have debugging options but it can be used in other systems.

Also do as Suthish says above; publish the project.

Listen to me. You don't need to do that. You need to read what I said.

Sam Hobbs,

I am aware that I can use it as a windows form in order to run it on other computers. The requirement is that I want the form to be used like a web page rather like a application, so that the computers running the application doesn't require C# loaded in them.
I don't know whether this is possible but just a shot at it.

thank you,
Aaditya

It is not necessary to convert the application to a web form to use it in other computers. You need to make a release build instead of a debug build; that is what release means, it is for release to other computers. You also should publish the application to create a setup, but that probably is not necessary.

Thanks dude, but I want the form to be published as a web form instead of a windows form kind.
Is it possible, If yes what is the step.

Thank you.
