Hello! It is problem which was solved by creating a tool called lazy linker ( or similar name ) described by Serge Lidin book on ILAsm and available on GotDotNet for download. It handles some of the issues when combining assemblies (removal of duplicate assembly declarations etc etc) but is unable to handle all of them and in particular any code using reflection to work with assemblies.
Why not give it a try?

If you *really* need to do this, you can always disassemble all the assemblies, concatenate them into a single .il file, and compile the single-file .il file into a .exe. This is a brute force approach, and will likely require some modifications to the .il to allow it to compile, but it might work. Emphasis on *might*. If any of the assemblies use Assembly.Load() or Assembly.LoadFrom() with any of the other assemblies, this code will need to change (as the assembly that would be loaded would now have a different name). Suffice it to say, this is a difficult problem, but can be done if your code isn't too complicated. - Jon _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
