How to convert .NET application to native and execute it with our installing Framework
-
I have developed a c# application and when I tried to install it I figured out that some users don't have framework installed on their computers and for some business constraints they can't install it. Is there a tool to convert my c# application to native one to be able to work on clean machines with out installing framework ?

Native code? Why?? There's no point to it. If you want to avoid the .NET Framework, you have to spend some big'ish money. The only compiler I know of is not free, called Salamander[^]. It costs about $1300 per developer using it and it hasn't been updated since 2007. Warning: Linking in the .NET Framework is NOT supported will result is HUGE executables!

To add to Dave's answer, there is also this: http://spoon.net/studio?gclid=CJOjsY-mxrwCFYjLtAodoCIA8A[^] - but at $4800 per application, it's a tad expensive as well...

If they have Windows the chances are that they will have a version of the .NET framework installed. Lots of software uses the .NET framework nowadays, so it's really just a case of how long you can put off installing it if you have a WIndows machine rather than not installing it. Generally the 'I don't want to install the .NET framework " crowd don't understand what the .NET framework is.

After a couple of herniated disks, I was told by my doctor that I can't do any heavy lifting. So I can't generate a 500MB executable anymore. :sigh:

Dave KreskowiakMy doctor said the same thing so now I have to sit to urinate.
