  • Hi Eranga Sapumal,

    When you compile your C# code, it gets compiled into an IL assembly. And NGEN takes IL assembly as an input and  installs the assembly and its dependencies into Native Image Cache.

    Per my understanding, the Ngen compilation is already the  binary compilation. There is no need to convert again.

    For more detailed  Ngen.exe (Native Image Generator) information, please refer to https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/6t9t5wcf(v=vs.110).aspx

    Best regards,

    Kristin
