In .NET 5, we automatically converted an
OutputType
ofExe
toWinExe
for WPF and Windows forms apps. This was intended to simplify .NET MAUI apps (so that the OutputType wouldn't need to be conditioned on the TargetFramework).However:
DisableWinExeOutputInference
#16563 and other linked issuesSo this PR reverts the previous automatic
OutputType
conversion.@mattleibow @jonathanpeppers @Redth The .NET MAUI targets for Windows should probably do something similar to the logic being removed here, ie change the
OutputType
fromExe
toWinExe
when targeting Windows.
