We have some applications built against .NET 3.5 and referencing ESRI ArcObjects .NET DLLs (which in turn reference COM DLLs). We're running them on Windows 2008.
Sometimes I will look in the applications' installation directories and alongside the EXEs there are a list of files with .s
and .x
extensions.
I wondered if they were generated if the program crashes, but if it is then it doesn't appear to be consistent. The file names are all in the pattern "xx#####", where ##### are numbers, which I thought may have been related to process IDs but I'm not certain about that.
I didn't put those files there, and I can't find any information as to what they are. What are they and why are they there?
It appears these are ESRI-related files. They are not anything to do with .NET per se.
