当我在Visual Studio中创建项目引用时，我是否必须在部署时包含这些项目的DLL？

Question

I have a console application and two class library projects.

The console application has to project references to the class library projects.

When I build, it generates DLLs for these two projects. Do I have to include these with my console applications exe file? Is there a way I can make it so I don't have to include these 2 dlls?

Ideally, I'd like to have a single exe.

Answer 1

You must include any referenced assemblies as they are dependencies of your application.

That being said, however, Microsoft offers a tool called ILMerge that will allow you combine the dependency assemblies with your executable to create one, all-inclusive, executable assembly that you can ship to customers.

Answer 2

查看ILMerge 。

Answer 3

You can merge the assemblies into one, using ilmerge , otherwise you'll have to deploy the exe file and the dlls. eg you can run a command like

ilmerge /target:winexe /out:MyProg.exe Program.exe ClassLib1.dll ClassLib.dll

Visual Studio provides no built-in way to do this, so you'd have to run the above command manually,as a Post Build event, or add it manually to your .csproj file.

Answer 4

您应该能够通过选择引用并将“复制本地”属性设置为false来完成。

Answer 5

小心ILMerge并确保您了解走这条路线的性能影响。
