当我运行我的 C# 应用程序时，Visual Studio 报告它已经加载了一个托管二进制文件（看起来像）一个随机生成的名称

Question

When I run my C# application, Visual Studio reports that it has loaded a managed binary with (what looks like) a randomly generated name.

For example:

'WindowsFormsApplication1.vshost.exe' (Managed): Loaded 'ehmgcsw7'

or:

'WindowsFormsApplication1.vshost.exe' (Managed): Loaded 'jvo4sksu'

What is this, and why is its name (seemingly) randomly generated?

Answer 1

These are usually the assemblies generated to provide XML (de)serialization functionality when no pre-compiled serialization assembly as been built.

Answer 2

You are probably using an XmlSerializer somewhere. This might dynamically generate and re-compile code, which in turn results in assemblies with random names that will be loaded. You could step through your code and determine at which point the assemblies are loaded.
