Creating a .dll file in C#.Net

Question

I had created a project which is C# console application project for which I need to call this project dll in another windows application project. I had built the project in visual studio 2010 and checked for .dll file in bindebug folder, but it is not created.

But a manifest file and .exe file havebeen created. Please help me out how to create the .dll in this case?

Answer 1

You need to make a class library and not a Console Application. The console application is translated into an .exe whereas the class library will then be compiled into a dll which you can reference in your windows project.

• Right click on your Console Application -> Properties -> Change the Output type to Class Library
