Sure. Here is how to build a .NET Core console application to output in an exe:

  1. Create a new .NET Core console application project.
  2. In the project's directory, run the following command:

Code snippet

dotnet build -c Release -o bin/Release/netcoreapp3.1

This will build the application and output an exe file in the bin/Release/netcoreapp3.1 directory.

  1. Run the exe file by double-clicking on it or by running the following command in a command prompt:

Code snippet

dotnet bin/Release/netcoreapp3.1/myapp.exe

This will run the application and output the results to the console.

Here is an example of a .NET Core console application that outputs the text "Hello, world!" to the console:

C#

using System;

namespace HelloWorld
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Hello, world!");
        }
    }
}

To build this application and output an exe file, you can run the following commands:

Code snippet

dotnet new console -o HelloWorld
dotnet build -c Release -o bin/Release/netcoreapp3.1
dotnet bin/Release/netcoreapp3.1/HelloWorld.exe

This will build the application, output an exe file in the bin/Release/netcoreapp3.1 directory, and then run the application. The text "Hello, world!" will be output to the console.
