I have develop a Windows Application that will looks like a calculator.. but in that i have used one third party dll file named calc.dll,

now my question is when i compile that project it will create tow file like my Calculator.exe file as well as calc.dll

but i want the out put will be of one file like Calculator.exe and it will contain that dll

i don't want to create a setup project for my project, i simply want to use my calculator by double clicking it...

means that when i compile the project i will get only one file(having both file in int exe and dll) as output

You need to take a look at ILMerge.

CP Article:

Merging .NET assemblies using ILMerge[^]

GUI Tool to make life easier:

If you want ILMerge to be part of your build process, you'll need to configure it to run as a Post Build Task of your .exe project.
