Hi everyone, I'm new here. I'm trying to make 2022 my year for creating new things. High on that list is expanding my knowledge of code and creating some apps and games.
To start with, I have a simple set of HTML pages that I am trying to convert into an .EXE file.
I have already created a new project and loaded my HTML into that project.
I know, hypothetically, that I need to "build" the executable, so so far the only build options I'm seeing are to build it as an HTML page. I feel like I might be doing it wrong, or missing a step, or something is configured wrong. I'm very new to MSVS so please forgive the newbie question. I've tried to look it up on Google, but everything I found was for older versions and is outdated now.
Any help would be appreciated.

Is it possible to clarify and let us know what you want to do, such as creating a new asp .net web app, making a web form application, writing and testing some C# codes, or learning something...
