C# compile visual studio 2010 issue

[mintuz]

hello, I developed an application with c# and visual studio 2010 and it works in debug mode, however I only want 1 exe file but when I move the exe file to another location the application crashes. I am using these libs. Any suggestions.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.IO;

You need to compile it for release and then use all the output files together. The only exception is that it may still output a PDB file and that's optional.

Hmmm.... It's possible you may have eels in your hovercraft. You have to watch out for those, as they can cause some nasty damage.


What? you're not using a hovercraft? What do you mean "what does that have to do with anything?" It has everything to do with it. Well, given the lack of details, such as the error message, it's the best guess I can give you.

Those aren't libraries. They are namespaces. One library may contain types from multiple namespaces and types from one namespace may be declared in multiple libraries. If you deploy the app and it crashes then that would suggest that maybe something is missing. Is the .NET Framework installed on that machine? Does your app depend on a database? Etc, etc. You need to provide all the relevant information that you can and any error messages provided are a very good place to start. Also, you can add exception handling and/or tracing to your app to work out for yourself what it's actually doing when the issue occurs.
