Let's say I want to run a .NET application on a machine where the .NET framework is not available; Is there any way to compile the application to native code?

It automatically compiles the release version of apps that are written in managed code (C# or Visual Basic) and that target the . NET Framework and Windows 10 to native code. Your apps will provide the superior performance of native code. You can continue to program in C# or Visual Basic.
NET application Source Code gets compiled into Microsoft Intermediate language (MSIL) which is also called Intermediate language (IL) or Common Intermediate language (CIL) code. Both . NET and Non-DOTNET applications generate an assembly when we compile the application. Generally, the assemblies have an extension of.
NET Native is a precompilation technology for building and deploying UWP apps. . NET Native is included with Visual Studio 2015 and later versions. It automatically compiles the release version of UWP apps that are written in managed code (C# or Visual Basic) to native code.
Microsoft has an article describing how you can Compile MSIL to Native Code
You can use Ngen.
The Native Image Generator (Ngen.exe) is a tool that improves the performance of managed applications. Ngen.exe creates native images, which are files containing compiled processor-specific machine code, and installs them into the native image cache on the local computer. The runtime can use native images from the cache instead using the just-in-time (JIT) compiler to compile the original assembly.
Unfortunately, you still need the libraries from the framework in order to run your program. There's no feature that I know of with the MS .Net framework SDK that allows you to compile all the required files into a single executable
