Using Visual Studio, you can directly create precompiled functions, which means that when you build your functions, Visual Studio creates a .dll file that can be referenced in other applications, just as you do for your regular classes. The following are two of the advantages of using precompiled functions:
- Precompiled functions have better performance, as they aren't required to be compiled on the fly
- You can convert your traditional classes into Azure Functions easily, and refer them in other applications seamlessly
