Package only the EXE or EXE+DLL's ?If i have built a windows forms application which refers to several
components (built as class library projects) , should i package just the EXE, or also the DLL's to the user ? Will the CSC embed the DLL's at compile time into the EXE, or just reference them at runtime ? Regards. If the DLLs are class libraries that you have created then you must
distribute them along with the EXE. DLLs are not embedded in the EXE code. If the EXE references Microsoft DLLs such as System, System.Drawing etc then you do not need to redestribute these DLLs with your own install. They will be in the .NET framework on the client machine. -- Show quoteBob Powell [MVP] Visual C#, System.Drawing Find great Windows Forms articles in Windows Forms Tips and Tricks http://www.bobpowell.net/tipstricks.htm Answer those GDI+ questions with the GDI+ FAQ http://www.bobpowell.net/faqmain.htm All new articles provide code in C# and VB.NET.
