How do i export c# addon to a dll file?

[danger cow]

so im trying to follow the addon tutorial on the ksp wiki and wrote this
 

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace BodyNamer
{
    class HelloKerbin : PartModule
    {
        public static void Main()
        {

        }

        public override void OnStart(StartState state)
        {
            print("hello, kerbin");
        }
    }
}

then it asked me to export it to a dll without telling me how so i just built the solution and all that came out was a exe
how can i export it to a dll?

When you create a new project in Visual Studio, you can choose between a class library or some type of app. To create a .dll (a Dynamic Link Library), you need to choose a class library

You can change this afterwards in the project properties: Hit 'Project' in the menu bar -> your_project_name Properties and switch the output type to class library:

Also, be sure that the target framework is set to version 3.5

This would be pretty much the very first example of the tutorial of Diazo about this topic:

I guess, you can change

[KSPAddon(KSPAddon.Startup.MainMenu, false)]

to

[KSPAddon(KSPAddon.Startup.Instantly, false)]

if you really want to start the plugin as fast as possible.
