ok so because i missed out for the last
tutorial on how to create an executable
file from this i'm going to get back in
shape again sitting on the stand up
going to be quick about three minutes
new project windows form application
execute to hold it
I i'm going to want to make your project
I was going to make something very
simple
well only the same and so this media and
the last tutorial we can have a label
one is going to change the phone it gets
worse as fun
click the three dots if you have to
change anything then I'll be the three
dots unless there's a drop-down menu
it's going to make it big like that and
then going to want to make it invisible
that i'm going to want a quick little
we've already done this
okay somebody got that you worked so
once you've done this to get an
executable file you're going to want to
go to first we're going to save save it
so if i make sure that you click sable
don't click save as or save it i'll only
save this when you want to save the
whole projects clicks able to me i'm
going to keep mine is executable and
then saved because I know what you're
going to want to utilize debug it
express the stop press f5 and you have
this and I mean you have to run it all
through this leave it and i'll start the
debugger i'm going to save it will again
she was really stupid i want to say that
but obviously we don't want a pic
project and you'll be saying quite a lot
say it kind of makes sense
alright and then what you want to do is
going to go to where you saved your
project so if you like I saved mine
microwave i save mine and documents
standard places your documents visual
studio $YEAR 2000 time projects and then
you'll be brought here this is from
something else that's what happens if
you click save as Casey just you should
have just let the folders here chillin
at once have any just downloaded 2010
going to double-click lap and then you
bought to hear you want to double click
that we bought your form if you have
more than more informed than you'd have
four more than all the other stuff
you're going to want to get them then so
debug and then as your executable file
you're gonna want to copy it
I wouldn't just cut it will take it it
will corrupt your program going to go
somewhere like the desktop and you're
going to want to taste it so now we're
here is and if you double click it and
it will run like so perfectly normal
obviously the the logo is it's very
rubbish i don't like it all so I'm if
you remember I told you about
I cannot chive quickly show you again
where you can download thousands and
thousands and icons which is like car
our child . com are coming over going to
call it here is 3,000 4,000 plus icon is
on my icons i don't have that many but
there's a good program which only to
download which i would recommend which
is cooled it's good rest hacker is not
actually hacking anything it just there
is it just changes the icons case it's
good
Aria soccer upper link in the
description you want to open that and we
brought to this case completely
virus-free some there's no way I'm going
to open very good you want to go to file
open and then you want to go to find
your executable file which is on my
desktop so you're going to want to go
back back right now I'm on my desktop
going to find your file so there is
executable exe even want to open it and
i'll be bots all your icons are going to
click on either icon icon group ID click
on icon and then i'll bring your number
and you normally have one of the numbers
and then click on web is inside and it
should show you the icon what you want
to go two days you work with that number
highlighted and I'm going to file new
not going to want to action
replace icon ok then this would be
brought up and you're going to want to
go on open file with new icon is that
click on Open File of new icon and then
you're going to want to find your icon

see a file so as wine skin a second
here's what I just cheese any any icon
mouth when she's a flag and click open
then you see the icon they're going to
want to click replace okay that
shouldn't happen this is just because i
was when they're in a video and it's
just finished rendering him so I'm sorry
about that

now we wanted to go I want to do is I
want to click file save as and then
you're going to want to get you wherever
