Re: Is there a .NET compiler ?

Sorry, I do not familiar with .NET 2.0 - is it mean I will not forced in
distrinbute .NET assemblies with my app after that compilation?

If it still required, what benefit from that NGen?

Ok - sounds like a silly question, but here goes.

Is there a compiler that compiles .NET to native anything (e.g. Win32).

I don't mean a program that packages a JIT... but one that literally
compiles it to Win32 like any other language.

If so - where ?

Yes. It's called NGen. Native Generate. In 2.0, NGen precompiles a
whole app; in 1.x, it works an assembly at a time.
