$singlefile
dotnet publish -c Release -r <runtime identifier> -p:PublishSingleFile=true
Use of -p:PublishSingleFile=true implies --self-contained true. Add --self-contained false to publish as runtime-dependent.
-r RID and -p:PublishSingleFile=true can be moved to .csproj as the following properties:but to target multiple RIDs, you have to use dotnet publish with the -r option for each RID.
You can also add -p:IncludeNativeLibrariesForSelfExtract=true to include native libraries (like Common Language Runtime dlls) in the output executable.
You might want to instead publish your application compiled Ahead Of Time to native code, see $nativeaot for examples.
Single file publishing | Runtime Identifier (RID) catalog | dotnet publishyou need to set it as self contained
so that it packs the runtime with the file
without self contained then yes the target machine would require to install or have it installer before ahead
unless you use .net framework, but that assumes your app will run on windows only(since you're using winforms not a problem) and will be limited by the language features of that version
if you're publishing thru visual studio community u should see an option "framework dependent" u would change that to "self contained"
@Silme94 did that made sense to u?
