Why is Visual Studio creating two DLLs with the same name in the bin folder? -


For some of my Visual Studio solutions, this bin is creating two DLL files in the folder, both of which are exactly identical names But when I look at their properties, there is an 'app extension (.dl)' and the other is a 'config file (.config)'

why both have the same name and why ' Do not have a config called ProjectName.config?

The file names created by VS are ProjectName.dll and ProjectName.dll.config.

If you are using Windows, then it is likely to hide common file extensions. From this it appears that the files are the same name. To see the real name:

  • Open the folder in Explorer
  • Navigate to View -> Folder Options -> Advanced
  • Clear the Checkbox for it Options "Hide extensions for known file types"

You should now be able to see the full name of the file with any extension. More information is available on the following page:.

For more information about .config files, see.
