Question

When I run my C# application, Visual Studio reports that it has loaded a managed binary with (what looks like) a randomly generated name.

For example:

'WindowsFormsApplication1.vshost.exe' (Managed): Loaded 'ehmgcsw7'

or:

'WindowsFormsApplication1.vshost.exe' (Managed): Loaded 'jvo4sksu'

What is this, and why is its name (seemingly) randomly generated?

Answer 1

These are usually the assemblies generated to provide XML (de)serialization functionality when no pre-compiled serialization assembly as been built.
