Hi all,

I just found the XML visualizer http://www.codeplex.com/XmlVisualizer and i
want to integrate this into my own project but i dont want to use the
Visualizer DLL. Can anyone tell me how i could integrate this into my
project? Eg: What files do i need to use?

You can either use the DLL or the build the source into your app.

You really should use the DLL, because that will make upgrades
a lot easier.

PS: How will you use it ? It looks as a VS plugin to me !
 
It has a form control that allows you to view XML in a color-coded, line
numbered format. The only problem is i dont want to have to distribute
another DLL. U can't literally integrate a DLL into a program, can u?

I believe there is an ILMerge utility to do that.

But I will still recommend against it.

Having a separate DLL makes it possible to upgrade
that DLL.
