C# output files

[Jose Vicente]

Hello all. I'm a beginner in C# and right now I'm developing a class library. I have seen that when I build the project two directories are created bin and obj. The first one is the output of the project, which I know I can modify the path in the project settins. This directory have two subdirectories Debug and Release and each one of those two stores the output file and and PDB file. Also, In the obj directorie, I found the outfut file of the project and the PDB file. I don't know why this directory is created. I would like to avoid this to be created. Also I'm not sure where is placed really the ouput of the project, in the bin directorie, in the obj or in both. Can anyone explain to me this behavior. Thanks in advance.

It's created during the compile of your project and used for linking various parts of your project together in the final steps of creating your target executables. No, you can't stop it from being created. Jose Vicente wrote: Also I'm not sure where is placed really the ouput of the project, in the bin directorie, in the obj or in both. In the bin folder, under either Debug or Release, depending on what configuration your compile is set for. RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome
