Hi people

I tried to use ngen.exe on an executable generated by C#, but I don't see where the generated executable is placed. I use it as follows (from the tools menu)

ngen.exe "$(ProjectDir)bin\release\myprogram.exe

The output goes to the output window, and it doesn't say it failed. But the original file doesn't appear to have changed, and I don't see a new executable appear

Another question. How can I make the tools window take the program executable as an argument, without specifying it like I did above? I don't see a tag for the executable

Thank you
Tom

The processed EXE is placed in the native image cache, which is part of the
GAC.

The CLR knows that it needs to load it from there whenever its run.

I don't believe VS.NET has a substitution variable for the target output
(the EXE).
