How to run .NET core application by double clicking a file like exe in .NET framework
In .NET framework when we build our solution/project, we get an exe in the debug/release folder and we can run our application by double clicking that exe. But how can we do this in .NET core, i know we can't have an exe in .NET core because it is windows specific. When i build my .NET core application i get the following files in the debug folder.
I know how to run this application using command prompt but i want to have a file like exe by clicking which i can run my application.

You can generate exe (self-contained application).
.NET Core 2.0 +
Open Package Manager Console or any other console in your project directory and type:
dotnet publish -c Release -r win10-x64
dotnet publish -c Release -r ubuntu.16.10-x64
When you use previous version of .NET Core you have to add runtime identifier of the target environment in csproj:
<PropertyGroup>
<RuntimeIdentifiers>win10-x64;ubuntu.16.10-x64</RuntimeIdentifiers>
</PropertyGroup>

Please uselinux-x64instead of an os-specific RID likeubuntu.16.10-x64. The first one will run on all new-ish linux distributions. The second wont even run on the next version of ubuntu.

Please uselinux-x64instead of an os-specific RID likeubuntu.16.10-x64. The first one will run on all new-ish linux distributions. The second wont even run on the next version of ubuntu.
