I just finished designing a simple code program. I called it a "Guessing Game". The program is so far working fine and I would like to open it without opening my Microsoft Visual Studio.

How can I do that?

The easiest way is:

  • Find the drop-down box at the top of Visual Studio's window that says Debug
  • Select Release
  • Hit F6 to build it
  • Switch back to Debug and then close Visual Studio
  • Open Windows Explorer and navigate to your project's folder (My Documents\Visual Studio 200x\Projects\my_project\)
  • Now go to bin\Release\ and copy the executable from there to wherever you want to store it
  • Make shortcuts as appropriate and enjoy your new game! :)
