um... I have a question regarding programming. I am using visual studio 2008, and right now when I test my programs on other computers, there are errors when I try to run it. However, no such problems with Dec-C++. I think it has something to do with the .net framework, but I am not sure. Does anybody know why?

hi there. what are the exact errors?

VS2008 has a selection drop-down both when you create the project and afterwards in the top toolbar, that lets you select the .NET platform that you aim for. It aims for the highest installed by default (since you did install VS2k8, you have at least 3.5), but you can lower it to 1.1 for maximum compatibility.

The IDE may also have a 'create installation package' thingy near the build menu.  While it's a horrible tool, the contents of the package it creates might help you learn what DLLs it thinks it needs to include...or at least, running the installer on a target machine might give you more info (did it work?  did it say they need to install something?)

But be warned, it really IS a horrible tool.

Thank you so much, I finally got a program that I compiled on a computer to work on another. I had not set the compile framework properly to .net 2.0..... so thank you again!
