Assemblies

[news.microsoft.com]

Why isnt the standard IDE not allow us to integrate assemblies into our
final exe?

I have a component used at design time but I want to have it IN my exe, but
then I cant use it in the designer unless its a .NET dll and then when I
build its a seperate assembly. For my scenario, this is not what we want.

Yeah yeah aftermarket tools, but why doesnt the standard IDE do this? Will
it ever?

You want to have a component as part of your EXE? Not a problem. Create a
standard EXE application and then add a component item into the project. It
will all compile down into one EXE.
