Description

Delphi tradition was to generate a single executable but when strong reasons requested separated run time packages.

With .NET things are different: a typical .NET application consists of an executable assembly, a bunch of assemblies in the program directory*, and a bunch of assemblies in the GAC.

Now, ok for the GAC, we have been used to system DLLs for a long time, but that DLLs around the executable look so VBish...

Really MS has a assembly linker, ILMerge. ILMerge is a command line tool and its use is a bit akward, so I made a Delphi oriented GUI for it: DILMerge.

DILMerge get a BDS Delphi or C# project, extract and show a list of assembly references and suggest which merge together. If necessary the list can be adjusted or manually constructed and the ILMerge options tweaked before merging the assemblies and generating a good old single file executable.
