Chapter 46 dotnet build issue

mutualcore · May 7th, 2017, 02:41 AM

I verified the .csproj:

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">

<PropertyGroup>
<OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
<TargetFramework>netcoreapp1.1</TargetFramework>
</PropertyGroup>

</Project>

I run:

>dotnet build

but instead of producing an .exe, I get helloworld.dll. A bug in the .NET Command Line Tools (1.0.3)?

No, that's not a bug. With .NET Core always dlls are created. Use
>dotnet run
to run this application.

You can also create exe files, but these are platform dependent. Check the downloadable chapter .NET Core with csproj to produce exe files.
See the section Publishing, Self-Contained Applications.
