File-based apps is a feature that's only available since .NET 10.
The default location of the executable is in an artifacts directory next to the .cs file: https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/sdk/file-based-apps
| To publish a single-file, self-contained app, run the following command: | ||
|
|
||
| ```dotnetcli | ||
| dotnet publish -c Release -r win-x64 --self-contained true /p:PublishSingleFile=true |
