Hello,
For the past few days, I have been looking for ways to convert a C++ WinForm made in Microsoft VS2022 to a .exe file, but I haven't found any working methods.
Please help if you can

Hello dear friend;

To convert a C++ WinForm project created in Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 to an executable (.exe):

1. Open your project in Visual Studio.
2. Set the configuration to Release mode.
3. Build the project (Build Solution or Ctrl+Shift+B).
4. Locate the .exe file in YourProjectFolder\bin\Release\YourProjectName.exe and test it.

Make sure all necessary DLLs are accessible alongside the executable.

Be lucky.

@Panda2340 glad to hear you resolved it! Would you mind posting the solution? It would be helpful for other users who might experience this in the future when they search for it 😄

Sure! I will post it in a bit, as I am on a chromebook, and need to go to my Windows Desktop with VS2022 to do so.

Sorry, My PC accidentally shut down, and I lost my progress on the post (it was a bit long). I will start making the post again soon, and post it ASAP.

@Panda2340 No worries! It's not urgent or necessary. It would be nice to have but wouldn't want to create more work for you 😄
