You mean an executable that you run on your local PC? There are MANY ways to do that on Windows. Start here by reading about the various approaches that Microsoft recommends: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/getstarted https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/getsta... For a more hands-on approach, see this practical example where you use Microsoft Visual Studio (it's the IDE for Windows development): https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj153219.aspx https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj153219.aspx Visual Studio is pretty much mandatory if you're serious about developing for Windows. Download the free version, Visual Studio Community, here: https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/community/ https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/community/ For LOTS of references, sample codes and much much more, see the amazing MSDN, e.g. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/site/search?f%5B0%5D.Type=Platform&f%5B0%5D.Value=Desktop&f%5B0%5D.Text=Desktop&f%5B1%5D.Type=VisualStudioVersion&f%5B1%5D.Value=14.0&f%5B1%5D.Text=Visual%20Studio%202015&f%5B2%5D.Type=ProgrammingLanguage&f%5B2%5D.Value=C%23&f%5B2%5D.Text=C%23 https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/site/search?f%5B0%5D.Type=Pl... https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/How-to-run-Hello-World-bd5d79ec https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/How-to-run-Hello-World-bd5d7... https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/Creating-CRUD-application-1b0028e5 https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/Creating-CRUD-application-1b...
