Hi,

I am quite confused. I created console application (MyTestApp), in visual studio under reference I can see dlls by default (System, System.core, System.Date, System.Linq etc).

I build and compiled the project. Upon opening MyTestApp.exe in ILDASM, i was expecting all above assemblies to be listed under AssemblyRef metadata. But I can see only mscorlib under AssembleRef.

Could any one please let me know, where is my understanding wrong.

Having the references in your project does not necessarily mean that you will use those libraries in the final executable.
