[Question] Create .exe file?

I know it is kinda obvious but how do you compile a Windows Forms Application into a .exe file in Visual Studio 2012 edition for Desktop? I still haven't figured out yet...

EDIT: I found out how to do it. Thank Stack Overflow... It turns out you gotta go to Build -> Create Solution... and then go to the Project file, go to the folder in which you saved it, go to bin, and then open the "Release" folder. There will be a .exe file with the name of the program. That's the application.

And this, ladies in gentlemen, is what you use Google for (or any attempt).

I didn't go through C# tutorials that much otherwise I'd still be doing them...

Any tutorial I did, book I read or whatever never learned my how to use an IDE in-depth. And I think that's a perfect method.

Else the students will most likely cling to that IDE and declare it holy, while really there're a lot other, better, faster (though often paid) IDE's.
