What are Debug and Release Exe's

[Larry]

In the directory Structure in a .NET solution
I have noticed that there are three different Executables.

One in the bin sub-directory,
One in the obj/release sub-directory
One in the obj/debug sub-directory

What are all of these, the only one that works is the one
in the bin sub-directory.

I have searched help to no avail.

Thank You for any help you can give me,

Larry,

What are all of these, the only one that works is the one
in the bin sub-directory.

Are you sure of that.

The bin is the same as the application start folder, so there is the latest
that you build (or started debug) and probably is in that folder as well
other needed files you named in your program as the application path.

The debug version is in the debug folder
The release is the one without debug information.

I hope this helps,

Cor

If he hasn't made a debug EXE in awhile, then his old code might possibly
not work
