When a source code is run through visual studio, an executable file is created in the directory of the project. The directory is in the project file \bin\debug. You could also find the database there if connected.

The program that you are looking for is usually in the extension .exe. You also need to make sure that the database is always in the same directory as the .exe file if you will run it on a different computer without visual studio or any other compiler just that the machine is compatible with .exe files (eg. windows OS on machine)

You can create an installation/setup project which will copy and install all the relevant files.
