All you need to really do is build it (CTRL + Shift + B). That'll create an executable in the bin/release directory. Be sure to set the build to Release (not debug).



If you use any 3rd party dlls, you'll want to make sure they're set to Copy Local = True so that they're copied to the bin/release directory.



From there, you can simply copy the bin/release fold to any place you'd want to deploy your application. That's the simplest method for releasing a project. You could also create an installer project that can be used to provide your end-users with an installer. Alternatively, you can use Click-Once deployment.
