I've finally found the time to revise and update the next to the last part of the VB.NET Express tutorial. I'd be willing to bet that VB.NET Express is the system that most of the people who come to this site use ... so this tutorial is a pretty big thing for me. Part 10 is all about arrays and collections ... but as a bonus, the example that is carried through the entire series is updated using System.XML (not LINQ to XML).

How can I make a VB 10 Program .exe?
First, this tutorial is about VB.NET 2010, which is version 10 of the Visual Basic language.
Executables (this is probably what you’re looking for) can be found in the project bin/Debug or bin/Release folder for your project (depending on how you have your project configured). For example, if the project is named “WindowsApplication1″ (the default name) and I save the project in my documents folder, the exe for the application will be in:
C:\Users\\Documents\WindowsApplication1\bin\Release
