Bind 3rd party DLL to App

[Mike TI]

Dec 5, 2005

I am using some 3rd pary components in my project (VB Net 2005)

Is there a way I can bind the dependent DLL files in the application file.
Objective: I do not want the end user to know which components I have used.

Thank you.

You can't (not easily at least). There's no static linking with .lib
files like there is in C. You can solve it by building the 3rd party's
sourcecode (if you have access to that) into a module, and on the
command line build a single assembly with your own code and that module.
