在没有单独的dll的情况下引用其他项目

Question

At the moment I have added and referenced another project to my main solution. It works, but then I need the separate dll that is compiled.

How can I reference another project without the need for a separate dll that I have to distribute with my final exe?

Answer 1

AC# class project in a Visual Studio solution always compiles to an assembly, so adding a project reference will inevitably mean that your executable references the assembly built as a result of compiling the other project. If you don't want to distribute the separate assembly with your executable the only thing you can do is to ILMERGE the assembly into your executable as a part of your deployment build process,

Answer 2

You can't. The way .net works is to load an additional assembly and using its meta data the classes inside that. If you are attempting to have a set of classes that you refer to by source similar to the way c++ uses header files you will have to import those files into your project.

Answer 3

This sounds like you're trying to statically compile a library. This is not (easily) offered by .NET without manually creating and merging assemblies.
