dotnet run build and execute

Context: dotnet run builds and executes the project. It is convenient for development but not for production (use dotnet publish).

dotnet run builds the project and immediately executes the resulting application.

Basic Usage

# Build and run the current project
dotnet run

# Run with command-line arguments
dotnet run -- Hello World

# Run with specific configuration
dotnet run -c Release

How It Works

1. Restores NuGet packages (if needed)
2. Builds the project
3. Executes the output assembly

Important Notes

• Not for production: Use dotnet publish for deployment
• First run slower: Due to package restore and compilation
• Watch mode: dotnet watch run for auto-reload

# Run with watch mode (auto-rebuild on changes)
dotnet watch run

# Run a specific project
dotnet run --project ./MyApp/MyApp.csproj
