Linking Modules into Small Footprint Assemby

Question

According to http://blogs.msdn.com/b/junfeng/archive/2005/02/12/371683.aspx I should be able to create a single .exe file build from some source code and a .netmodule file. However, after looking at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/92b5ab4h.aspx and http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/k669k83h.aspx I cannot seem to make this happen. Whenever I run my .exe it is looking for the .netmodule externally.

Does anyone know of any example showing which options I have to pass to csc to make this do what I want?

For example I have, common.netmodule and program.cs, and I want a single file program.exe that has common.netmodule in the assembly.

Answer 1

After rethinking things, I decided to solve the problem at the source code level. Instead of compiling a common.netmodule file, I just have Maven copy my common.cs file into the project specific directories, and then compile. It works, it's simple, and I cannot believe I wasted so much time trying to figure out the abstruse details of .Net assemblies.
