On Windows 7, VB.NET Express, I have developed a simple Forms application. I don’t really make use of any external plugins or anything – it just has a couple buttons, pictureboxes, GDI operations to modify some images…

And now it is complete. And I would like to already upload it. But, since this is actually the first time I try to submit something, what other details should I keep in mind when distributing my application? I mean stuff like… will my application work as expected in other machines? Other Windows versions? I am not in a proper position to test it in other machines, I fear, so I am relying the “default” settings and hoping it will simply work.

    Unless you use platform-specific APIs (which are rare in your typical, garden-variety .NET application) then it should work on all versions of Windows that support your version of the .NET Framework. If the end user doesn’t have that version of the .NET Framework installed, then he or she will need to get it manually. You can make that a little easier by using the built-in ClickOnce installer (Build > Publish <project name>) if you’re not already using it.

    Apart from that, no, there shouldn’t be any problems, given that you say your application is a simple one. (And console applications can even work on Linux and Mac using Mono!)
