You should read this MSDN entry regarding debug and release modes.

Feel free to post if you still struggle with deploying your app, sometimes it can be a REAL pain...

you should read some very basic tutorials on programming in the .NET framework before asking silly questions?

Hi farnooshr65,
* What you are looking for is setup and deployment project.
* Visual Studio 2005/2008 is IDE. You can know more here. IDE is primarily for Dev to develop application faster (more like rapid application development model).
* MSDN, link
* For asp.net app.: Walkthrough: Publishing a Web Site

It is something similar that you are saying "i have prepared an ice cream and have to preserve it in the oven". You have built your project on the .net platform and you cant run it on different platforms.
