Publishing Code for Deployment
Explore methods to publish and deploy .NET applications as libraries or executables. Understand framework-dependent and self-contained deployments and learn to target multiple operating systems for broader compatibility.
If we write a novel and want others to read it, we must publish it. Most developers write code for other developers to use in their own projects or for users to run as an app. To do so, we must publish our code as packaged class libraries or executable applications.
There are three ways to publish and deploy a .NET application. They are:
- Framework-dependent deployment (FDD)
- Framework-dependent executable (FDE)
- Self-contained
