Though I haven't heard of it, but I still want to ask if there is any
way to statically link a assembly(dll only) in/to my exe file so that
the exe file doesn't have any dependency other than the framework's
assembly?
 
Thanks Jon!!
This looks great!!
I am curious if there is any such support built directly into VS 2005 or
2008?? Or if it's possible to do it when the exe is built?

I'm afraid I couldn't say - I've never actually used it myself. You
could add it as a post build step, of course.

You can postbuild it. I have only done it in experiments. I find very little
need to ILMerge in the apps I do. :-)

Thanks for the info!!!

I asked this just out or curiosity. I don't have any plans to use them
as of now :)

What's the point of statical linking , especially with all dll-hell
issues permeating C++ solved in DotNet?
