Release Build contains extra files, do I need these?
.net, c#, windows
Solution
You do (probably) need
- myApp.exe.config
That contains configuration settings for your executable.
You don't need the others.
- myApp.pdb
Contains debug symbols
- myApp.vshost.*
Used by Visual Studio when debugging (vshost means Visual Studio Host).
Problem
I built my program with Visual Studio 2012 Express, bin/release/ contains some other files as well as the exe. Do I need to distribute these files? - myApp.exe.config - myApp.pdb - myApp.vshost.exe - myApp.vshost.exe.config - myApp.vshost.exe.manifest
