    C# to Win32

    Hi!

    Is there any way that i can write a program using C# and then convert it into Win32 so the program can be run on any computer without installing .NET libs? i just heard of something called ngen, can it do the thing?

    Thanks.

    There is no such thing. ngen will do what the just-in-time (JIT) compiler will do anyway, just earlier, so you don't have to wait for it to do it just-in-time. If you need Win32 executables, you will need to write native code for example in C++ or other languages.

    When in doubt, read the FAQ.
    Then ask a smart question.
