Hi Robert,
when installing the X# compiler, afterwards it works for a while "generating native images".
Is this something we could use for our own software also?
I'm using XIDE for all of my X# programming.
Thank you very much!

Wolfgang,
Yes you can use that too.
We are calling ngen.exe to do the work.
If you look in the folder c:Program Files (x86)XSharpUninst you will see 2 cmd files: instngen.cmd and uninstngen.cmd that we use to generate and remove the precompiled assemblies. These cmd files are created and executed by the (un)installer.

Hi Robert,
thank you very much!
I have looked into the cmd files, and a Google search gave me a few very interesting articles about ngen.exe:
To NGen or Not to NGen?
and unfortunately I was not able to find an english version of this very interesting one:
Die Leistungsvorteile durch NGen
It should be inside this chm file (MSDN magazine May 2006):
MSDN Magazine May 2006
but I have added a PDF version of it here:
