@NN--- thank you for the submission! We'll get it reviewed and added.

@LakshanF Can you shed some light on IncludeAllContentForSelfExtract? How does it affect the running of the app? I want to make sure this is accurate and also perhaps clarify some other parts of the article.

cc @agocke as well

Sure.

This flag makes single-file application working as it did in .NET Core 3.
It first extracts the files to the disk and then loads assemblies from the files in the disk.
By default without this flag, .NET 5.0 doesn't extract anything and uses everything in process memory.

This flag appears in few issues and some articles in the internet but doesn't appear in documentation.
It is essential for licenses which require dynamic loading if you want your application to use other license.

LGTM -- we should also probably document IncludeNativeLibrariesForSelfExtract

[NN---]

It is documented

Ah, in the "other considerations." In that case, let's not create a new section here and put those together. I certainly wouldn't want to encourage use of IncludeAllContent vs IncludeNativeLibraries

@NN--- Just noting that your original suggestion was deleted and replaced by a different one?

[NN---]

Yes. I updated according to the review comment.

@adegeo Can we merge this?
