Hi,
I have a question if somebody can help me :
is it necessary for a Quartus II project to be successfully compiled before simulating it or trying it on development board?
Great thanks for patience to reply to such beginning questions:)

You may be lucky enough to give up simulation, chances may be better than winning a Euro lottery. As to compilation, you can't be serious, you can't give it up even if you are designing - with respect - for a flying carpet project.
Technically it is the compilation that produces the final firmware files to be downloaded into your chip. Quartus assembler wouldn't produce these files unless it successfully passes the compilation test.
