how to run a C++ program after its been compiled

Hi!

This will probably be an easy question to answer but the solution is eluding me. I just started writing c++ programs and they work fine on my computer (I use visual studio to compile them). the problem I am having is I would run my program on another computer and I simply cant figure out how to do that without taking the source code and re-compiling it on the second computer.

Is there a way to make an .exe file or something similar that I can just put on the other computer and have it run?? Any help would be very greatly appreciated.
