Where can i find an executable program once i have finished writing c# code

Question

In visual basic class I learned where I could find the .exe file once the program was done and run at least once. Basically we could take the icon for the .exe file and place it on the desktop so that a user could just double click on the icon to run the program without needing to open the IDE or look at any code.

Where/how can i find this kind of file for c# code?

Go to the bin/Debug folder in the project. (or bin/Release if you're using the release build).

You can also go to your project settings, then to the build tab, and in the "Output" heading read/change the "Output Path" setting. This will let you output the exe to some other location, or just see where it is currently outputting in the event that it has already been changed on your machine.
