Hi.
Can we run a C# App on a system without installing .NET Framework ?
Is it possible ?
Thank you.

well i assume you mean a C# App that uses the .Net Framework?
You could try copying the .Net Framework .DLL files that your app needs to its local directory and reference those files in your app. I think it is posible in VS or SD to set if a reference is a local copy or not. I not played with it thou so i cant be sure

You mean we can write a C# App without .NET Framework !
So, how ?
|
|

Well C# is just a language so.... i wouldnt know what to suggest you use it with thou. I have done game development with C# and XNA but i dont recall if it uses the .net framework thou.
Why is it you dont want end user machines to have .Net framework?
My suggestion would be just to include the .Net framework redistributable with your applications setup

no, it wont work. I tried that when I start programming, copied every known DLL in executable directory and got a nice looking .Net not installed error.

Try Xenocode Postbuild
Run your application on any Windows PC - Native x86 executable generation allows your .NET application to run anywhere, with or without the Framework. Embed application-specific .NET and DirectX dependencies. (Windows 9x and NT4 targets not supported.)

Alas, It's not free 
|
|
|
|

Depending on what you want to accomplish xenocode might not do what you want. IT doesn't actually convert your app into a native one. It wraps a compiler and the used parts of the framework into a single giant exe and then obfuscates them. At run time it then extracts everything and runs it just like a normal .net app.
Today's lesson is brought to you by the word "niggardly". Remember kids, don't attribute to racism what can be explained by Scandinavian language roots.

That officially qualifies as a stupid question.

Hi John .
How do you do today ? 
|
|
|
|
|
Why would you want to do this? And in short, you can't. C# is very closely linked to the .NET Framework and you can't run C# apps without the framework although there are dubious products which claim you can.
The framework provides all the managed code support (garbage collection, verifiable code, reflection, security etc) for instance.

Rob Philpott.

Thanks Rob. I don't want to do that.
I've wanted to know.

Terrific , thank you 8kelvin

The best solution, put .Net Framework setup with your app. But if you want to run your app without .Net Framework then you should try or buy Xenocode Virtual Appliance[^]

I've got it

DotGNU[^]
Mono[^]
ILDJIT[^]
XenoCode was already mentioned as a linker, but there's also one from RemoteSoft[^].
The .NET framework is *free*, why would you want to avoid it? That's like doing C++ programming without MFC
I are troll

You mean the only way C++ programming is bearable?

You can also build .NET applications using Notepad++, TextPad or c# command-line compiler csc.exe.

You can use software like Xenocode Postbuild 2008[^], but it is very expensive and even if you do get it, it can make executables unstable and extremely large.
