Name
Ngen.exe — Native Image Generator
Synopsis
ngen [options] [assembly-path-or-display-name...]
Description
Compiles an assembly to native code and installs a native image in the local computer’s native image cache. That native image is used each time you access the original assembly, even though the original assembly contains MSIL. If the runtime can’t locate the native image, it falls back on JIT compilation.
Examples
ngen foo.exe ngen foo.dll
Options
-
/debug Generates a native image that can be used with a debugger.
-
/debugopt Generates a native image that can be used with a debugger in optimized debugging mode.
-
/delete Deletes native images matching
assembly-path-or-display-name. Use*forassembly-path-or-display-nameto delete all native images.-
/nologo Suppresses display of the banner and copyright messages.
-
/prof Generates a native image that can be used with a profiler.
-
/show Lists native images matching

/showversion Displays the version of the .NET runtime that would be used to generate the native image. Does not actually generate the image. (Added in .NET 1.1.)
