  • See msdn : https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/92t98ax4.aspx. dll, exe, and lib are created from the intermediate .obj files. – jdweng Nov 25 '16 at 16:03

    Sounds like an XY problem. What is your end goal? What are you going to use this LIB file for? – CodeCaster Nov 25 '16 at 16:03

    @jdweng in the case of a Win32/C++ project, yes. This question is tagged and titled with C#. – CodeCaster Nov 25 '16 at 16:04
  • @CodeCaster i would like to use my .lib to another c++ project for tests. – frank underwood Nov 25 '16 at 16:07
  • Then [Using C# dll in C++ code](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19144006/using-c-sharp-dll-in-c-code) is relevant. It's not as simple as exposing a LIB file, as a .NET DLL isn't really a Win32 DLL. Well it is, but not in the way it exports CLR types and methods. – CodeCaster Nov 25 '16 at 16:08
  • C# does not create libs. – Gusman Nov 25 '16 at 16:08
  • See msdn : https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/78f4aasd.aspx. Not sure why libs can't be created from obj in c#, Maybe it just the options provided in vs. Doesn't mean the command line compile won't work. – jdweng Nov 25 '16 at 16:14
