I created a .NET Core Console Application through MS VS. After building the application and navigating to the build directory there is a .dll file, not a .exe.

Why has this happened and how do I fix it?

PS: the Class Library project also generates .dll.

    Class Library projects will INDEED generate only .dll – Steve Oct 28 '16 at 14:47
  • yes, I agree - I just say that Class library project generate expected binary type, instead of console project type. – AeroSun Oct 28 '16 at 14:48

  • I can confirm that if I go to `/bin/debug/netcoreapp1.0/`, I have a dll. When I jump into the next folder, `/win7-x64/`, I have an exe (this is for a web project). Do you have any other folders to search through? – ps2goat Oct 28 '16 at 14:50
