I have just finished my first windows application throught VB.NET. Doesn't
VB.NET allow us to create .exe file? If not, how can I deploy my application
to a user? Enlighten me, please. Thank you.

If you can run your app through Visual Studio, then there IS a .exe file.
Have a look in the project directory, there should be a bin directory.
Within this there can be subdirectories (e.g. Debug, Release) that contain
the relevant builds. Whilst .NET does support xcopy deploymenty, it might be
a good idea to create a setup project to deploy your app though.
 
Thank you very much Sean! :)
