How do I turn a .cs into a .exe executable file???

You press F5 in order to run the program. You'll find the *.exe in the bin -> Debug folder if i remember correctly.

But if you want a release version then you can click on "Build" and then on "Configuration Manager" and select "Release" instead of "Debug".
Changing it into "Release" might make it faster and smaller, but if you are wanting to debug it then change your configuration back to "Debug".

If you right-click the toolbars and turn on the Debug toolbar, you also get a little drop-down box so you can quickly switch between Debug and Release modes.

Or you can do right from your command prompt, but first you must edit your Environment variables on your System Properties in Advanced tab then find where `Path` is located and try adding this to the end:

(Toggle Plain Text)

;C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727

Note: that ; is the separator between other paths included in Path environment variable.

and then you can compile your .cs file like shown below:

(Toggle Plain Text)

csc /target:exe yourFile.cs

P.S: .NET Framework version can vary, for that reason i marked Bold and Italic.

Milot, there is no need to bump 8 month old threads. You can probably assume that the original poster has either solved the problem, or given up on it. the 6 week old thread yesterday was bad enough, but 8 months is way too long.
