Why doesn't any of the endpoint in my Minimal API appear in ILSpy?

I am a new user of ILSpy. I've got a Minimal API application I wrote in .NET 9. It has several endpoints. None of them appear in the ILSpy interface.

Why is that?

I just tried with one of my PoCs:

You are looking in the right place?

You may be correct. I am trying to use ILSpy to look at a Minimal API I've wrote using .NET 9. I thought that it would either be the .dll I see at the root directory of the deployed app, or the .exe in the same folder. Should I be looking elsewhere in that subdirectory?

[christophwille]

It totally depends how your structured your app, but in general it would be YourWebApiProjectName.dll like it was in my case.

I've had another thought which might explain why I don't see the code I expect to see. Following some Minimal API examples, I've found online, I've put all the new endpoints into the Program.cs file. I have only seen one Pluralsight course where the author showed a different way of storing the endpoints in a new C# class. Could that be why ILSpy doesn't "see" it?

You can click on Program.<Main>$ in the // Entry point: comment to jump to it.
It's probably in the nameless root namespace?

Oh, yes, that did it. Thank you!! 😄
