Not "form code" but application.

In addition to the correct answer by Mika: Visual Studio is not even needed to build the assemblies from the source code. All you need to build it is included in (freely redistributable) .NET Framework: C# and VB.NET compilers, MSBuild, etc. You can either build it all using just a compiler command line, or build by a project or solution file using MSBuild.EXE. For more detail, see the help on each of those tools.

[EDIT]

It's good to understand that Visual Studio does not build any .NET projects; instead, it runs MSBuild found in .NET Framework (maybe indirectly, via Code DOM) and redirects outputs to IDE. You also can create application using Code DOM which would make a project out of C# or VB.NET source code, compile and run it. This application would not require any prerequisites except .NET Framework redistributable package.

You don't have to install Visual Studio. Net framework is adequate. Net framework 3.5 is included with Windows 7 so if you're targeting it (or previous) then everything should be fine. If you're using a newer framework, then it should be installed first. If you're using a setup program, this can be done by making it a prerequisite.

The key thing is that you take the compiled binaries from your debug or release directory and distribute them either by copying or with some more advanced techique (for example ClickOnce).

If you have developed the program with credentials with lots of privileges you must take the UAC into account. For more information, see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb756973.aspx[^]. Even though the topic is for Vista the ideas apply also to Windows 7.
