Hello,
I have created a GUI using the visual studio software. Is it possible for me to create an object file so that i could run the GUI on a PC that does not contain the software used to create the GUI? If so, could anyone run me through the steps in doing so?
Thank you.
Regards,

to run your gui which is created in VS on other computer you will need .NET Framework on that computer...if your application is made in VS 2010 then that computer need .NET Framework 4, if your application is made in VS 2008 then that computer will need .NET Framework 3.5

What i mean is, now that i have run, debugged and tested my GUI. What is the extension of the created GUI, that i could open using the above specified software?

With Visual Studio since you have compiled a program and i assume that is done in a project solution, there would be a "Debug" folder containing the exe file.

However, it is better usually to pick up any thing else present in that folder too since there could possibly be libraries, image files or any other programming item that you application has used and expects to be present along.

A better idea is to use release mode (you can select it from the drop box on top of visual studio out of two options "Debug / Release".

Debug mode also creates object files along where as release does not. If you have selected "Release" mode, then instead of folder named "Debug", there would be one with name "Release"
