C# release directory remains empty

Question

I have an C# application. I can debug the application and Visual Studio C# writes de debug files to bin/debug.

When I use "Built Solution" to compile the application, C# shows no errors and says "Build succeeded"... but the bin/release directory remains empty.

All other applications I compile don't have this problem.

Where did my compiled application go to?

Answer 1

Set your compilation to Release in the configuration manager.

Answer 2

This is perhaps a silly question, but have you selected the Release configuration when building your solution?
