Hi Experts,<br />
<br />
I have a VB.NET project for which I can create an .exe file when I use the <b>Configuration: Active Debug</b> setting.<br />
But when I change to <b>Configuration: Release</b> &nbsp;and click <b>Build Solution</b> I see &quot;Build Succeeded&quot; on the status line, but no .exe file is created in the bin\release folder.<br />
<br />
Regards,<br />

Microsoft Visual C++ (often abbreviated as MSVC or VC++) is an integrated development environment (IDE) product from Microsoft for the C, C++, and C++/CLI programming languages. It features tools for developing and debugging C++ code, especially code written for the Microsoft Windows API, the DirectX API, and the Microsoft .NET Framework. Many applications require redistributable Visual C++ packages to function correctly and are often installed independently of applications, allowing multiple applications to make use of the package while only having to install it once

Microsoft launched VB.NET as the successor to the Visual Basic language. Though it is similar in syntax to  Visual Basic pre-2002, it is not the same technology,

Visual Basic.NET

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.
