❔ Two Program.cs files in new Blazor Web App template.
After playing around with the preview version of .NET 8 I noticed that in the new Blazor Web App template (which combines webassembly and server side rendering) there are two Program.cs files. I get that for each environment an individual entry point is needed. But its somewhat magic to me how Blazor knows which main function to call. Does the assembly generated by the client project have some special attributes that allows the Blazor app to know that this is the dll for the webassembly rendering or how exactly does this work?

at first glance I assume that is a bug
yeah there is definitely a bug imo... even if you select "none" it still gives you a project template
I think these options in the drop down are jumbled up
that is a new in VS 2022 preview 17.8.0 preview 6.0
it isn't in the current 17.7.6
either a bug or the UI there is misleading
I don't think its a bug. At least not the Auto template (didn't try the single mode templates). It fits perfectly with the project structure described here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/blazor/project-structure?view=aspnetcore-8.0

running
dotnet new blazorwasm only makes one prject
but in the Visual Studio ui it makes 2 projectsTry running only blazor e.g. dotnet new blazor
This should create the auto template app. blazorwasm is wasm only
