pete,

There are two kinds of VB.NET programs.

1. ASP.NET programs where the code-behind is written in VB. These programs
require some kind of IIS server to run.

2. Windows Forms programs. These are more like your classical Windows
programs and do not require IIS.

If you are programming for Windows Forms, for the most part you can just
take the bin directory from your project, copy it to a target machine where
the .NET framework redistributable is installed (It is a part of the OS on
the Tablet computers and will be a part of the OS on all new Windows
platforms) and it will run. If you add references to other assemblies
(.dlls) such as third party controls, you can put these dlls in the bin
directory also and it will work just fine.

The deployment model for .NET is FANTASTIC.
