Check if Blazor app is WebAssembly or Server?

Started a project via cmd so not sure if it is a WebAssembly App or Server side app.

Anybody know how to check this in an easy way in Visual Studio/cmd?

Update (.net 5 and up)

The quickest way is to look in Program.cs

Blazor WebAssembly:

var builder = WebAssemblyHostBuilder.CreateDefault(args);

Blazor Server:

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
// Add services to the container.
builder.Services.AddRazorPages();
builder.Services.AddServerSideBlazor();

also, the presence of any .cshtml files, mainly Pages\_Host.cshtml, means it is a Blazor Server project.

Old answer

There are several points in the project you can easily check.

Look for the line services.AddServerSideBlazor(); in ConfigureServices()

You could check it by running the app in localhost and then checking the initiator in network traffic when the app launches.

You can open the .csproj file and look at the first line. Blazor Server App project is using Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web" but Blazor WebAssembly App is using Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.BlazorWebAssembly".

If three projects (.Client, .Server, .Shared) were created, this is a WebAssembly Blazor App hosted (on the server).

If a single project was created, it might be a WebAssembly Blazor stand alone App, or a Blazor Server App. In that case you should look for the Startup class. If exists, that means that your project is a Blazor Server App, if not then it is a WebAssembly Blazor stand alone. This is basically how I often view the structure of my solution, by a quick scan.
