Link an object to an Assembly

[Volker Thebrath]

Hi,
I have a Program(exe) and a API (dll), both in c#, works very fine.
Now I'm looking for a way to link both together. To have only one
file(exe) to copy to the installation directory.

Is this possible?

Best Regards
Volker

Yes. If you have the source code for both, I guess the easiest way is
to directly compile them to a single executable. If not, there are
tools that can merge compiled executables. Google for "ilmerge" or
"illink".

I have the sources for both, but I need the DLL seperatly, too. So I
can't create a Project with both sources.
Or is the e possibility to compile code from an external directory
without copy the sourcecodes to the Solution?

Yes, you can include source files from any directory in a project. You
could also just create another project in the same directory.

Thanks, I'll give it a try.
