If you have mostly older software that was written by professional companies then you may not need *. NET Framework, but if you have newer software (whether written by professionals or novices) or shareware (written in the last few years) then you might need it.
No. c# only target . NET (or a comparable framework, such as mono). As an aside, Win7 comes with .
. Net Core does not support desktop application development and it rather focuses on the web, windows mobile, and windows store. . Net Framework is used for the development of both desktop and web applications as well as it supports windows forms and WPF applications.
There are a several different tools out there, a couple I have tried are:
You can find more by doing a search for ".NET Linker."
The two above, which I tried, seemed to work ok, but I never widely tested my code built with them. I tried them mostly out of curiosity.
My .NET apps are mostly used by IT departments. Installing the .NET framework is no big deal for them.
If you want to write software more targeted at end users then the .NET install may turn them off.
