      First thing to do is to choose a language in which to do that. In which language would you program it ?

        Visual Studio :| You need to decide what language you are going to program in, find a compiler for the chosen language, code your application, test, and then deploy. You really should consider picking up a book or two, take some classes before embarking on big projects by the sounds of your knowledge level of the subject.

          I agree, C# is probably a good language to start with, and the Visual Studio designer is greater for creating dialog boxes and other graphical interfaces. Do a google search for "C# tutorial" or "Programming introduction" or the like, there's tons of articles that walk you through writing the basic Hello World programs. If you go with something like Visual Studio that has a graphical designer for your windows, definitely look at the code it automatically generates for your windows. I've learned a fair bit about how to write a .NET form/window without using the designer at all just by studying that code. Dybs

                    Try learning any language you want.. Preferably Basic languages like C or C++ is the first thing to start with.. After you learn C++, you may come to C# where you will learn how to make programming easily and sophisticatedly. Learn Programming ... and dont think about making exe s anymore.. You will get it automatically done after you learn .NET. Making setups in .NET is just a fun. But making the actual program is what you want. Abhishek Sur

                      Errm - with the plethora of languages such as C# and Java available now, C/C++ aren't what I would consider basic languages.

                        I'll second that. Granted, I learned programming with C++ anyway, but I've heard that C should come with a "WARNING: Experts Only!!" label to it, considering how easy it is to misuse if you don't know what you're doing. Dybs

                          Hmm, I believe that you are asking on how to convert your C# source code to an executable? In Visual Studio 2005, click the "BUILD" button, it will create a .EXE file and will be stored in the Debug folder of your project. You can distribute the .EXE file without the source codes.

                          It is said that the most complex structures built by mankind are software systems. This is not generally appreciated because most people cannot see them. Maybe that's a good thing because if we saw them as buildings, we'd deem many of them unsafe.

                            First he should choose 'English' and clear it first. Just the first line of his post carries blatant and glaring typos, which he should have potentially caught it before hitting the submit button and resting back. Huh! I really don't know how such people bother to sneak into programming world and make pesky nagging calls into others' tranquility. :sigh:
