Will C#.NET exe files work on win 2000/xp ?

i'm totally new at the .NET environment and i have a simple question :

i made a simple project and compiled it.
i believe that if i copy paste the release exe file to another computer the file won't work? (because it needs dlls and others....).
is there a way for my .NET exe file to work on other computers without .NET compiler installed on them ?
if yes ,then how? ( no need for specific explanation , just a couple of words or a link).

You will need to install the DOT-NET-Framework on the destination computer.
This Framework is available at Microsoft-Website for different languages.

Hope this helps.
