Hi,
I have brought VB.Net and I am following the training exercise,"Lucky7".
The problem I have, is that the only build platform available is .Net.
How Do I add other platforms, like xp Pro and XP home, etc....
Thanks :)

When you want to compile the project , you have a choice of debug or
release, and also what build platform you want. but the only one available
is .net

Hi pete,

I assume the .NET means .NET Framework. And .NET framework works fine in windows xp professional.

Yeah, I had tested on windows 2000 professional, windows xp professional and windows server 2003 too.

Correct me if i am wrong. Cheers.

Hi again,

I think i made a mistake.

If you actually look into denenv command, you can set

DEBUG|.NET or RELEASE|Win32

Hmm... i never seen win32 before. I am used to the default build on .NET Platform.

Sorry earlier that i made a mistake.

Hi Pete,

All .NET application will runs on windows with .NET Framework (see the system requirements below) installed. You can get the .NET redistributable here.

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=262d25e3-f589-4842-8157

Supported Operating Systems: Windows 2000, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows NT, Windows XP
Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 requires Service Pack 6a.

I believe it will work on Windows XP home editions.

Good Luck! :)

Download this file, install on the target machine, (including XP Home), and
your applications with the " .net" extensions, will RUN!

--> Well i think applications are normally in an executable form (*.exe) rather than (*.net). Yeah you install this in each target machine you want to run an .net application.

Cheers.

The platform is not important as .net is the only supported platform for VB.net.
I believe it can only be changed if you're using C++ (giving the options .NET -> managed and Win32 -> unmanaged), although I did not check that.

The WinForms application you create will still have the .exe extension like any other type of executable and .dll for all components.
