Haiya! I'm having an issue regarding trying to compile my .NET 5 application to a single file executable while debugging through Visual Studio.
My CSProject is bellow.
<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
<PropertyGroup>
<OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
<TargetFramework>net50</TargetFramework>
<AutoGenerateBindingRedirects>false</AutoGenerateBindingRedirects>
<RuntimeIdentifier>win-x64</RuntimeIdentifier>
<PublishSingleFile>true</PublishSingleFile>
<IncludeNativeLibrariesForSelfExtract>true</IncludeNativeLibrariesForSelfExtract>
<PlatformTarget>x64</PlatformTarget>
</PropertyGroup>
</Project>
I have my runtime identifier set to winx64 and publish single file set to true, yet when building I'm left with a bunch of DLLs that my application uses building along-side it (a total of 272 in total). I was wondering - how would I package these DLLs into this application? I had thought that publishing it as a single file executable would do that already-
For .Net 5, to get a single runnable executable file when you publish your project, the important properties are:
You'll either need to include them in the project file themselves, or specify them on the command line.
Project File:
<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
<PropertyGroup>
<OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
<!--<OutputType>WinExe</OutputType>--><!--Use this for WPF or Windows Forms apps-->
<TargetFramework>net5.0</TargetFramework>
<!--<TargetFramework>net5.0-windows</TargetFramework>--><!--Use this for WPF or Windows Forms apps-->
<PublishSingleFile>true</PublishSingleFile>
<SelfContained>true</SelfContained>
<IncludeAllContentForSelfExtract>true</IncludeAllContentForSelfExtract>
<RuntimeIdentifier>win-x64</RuntimeIdentifier><!--Specify the appropriate runtime here-->
</PropertyGroup>
</Project>
CLI:
dotnet publish -r win-x64 --self-contained true -p:PublishSingleFile=true -p:IncludeAllContentForSelfExtract=true
There are other properties worth considering depending on what your needs are, for example:
See documentation pages here:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/deploying/single-file https://github.com/dotnet/designs/blob/main/accepted/2020/single-file/design.md
Had a similar problem upgrading from .net core 3.1 to .net 6 for a single file app where the app was exiting as soon as it started up. The resolution was to add the below setting to the publish command
/p:IncludeAllContentForSelfExtract=true
