The 2.9 MB is the minimum for a hello world type application, which is what you see in your first list.
Each additional feature you use will push this number up. In your second list, you have added code that uses more assemblies past the baseline: - Mono.Data.Sqlite - System.Data - System.Xml.Linq And also uses more features in the assemblies that your first list had, causing them to be bigger: - ~300KB in mscorlib - ~250KB in System - ~400KB in System.Xml Your size is larger than the minimum because your code uses more features than the minimum, so those features have to be included as well. The good news is you've pretty much pulled in most of it, so it won't get much bigger as you add more code. Jonathan On 12/14/2011 4:53 PM, klimaye wrote: > Jon, > > I am on 4.0.1.
