When I build a project in a solution in Visual Studio (it can be C# VB.NET F# or else) I suppose that only one assembly per project is generated right?
So if I have a solution containing project 1 2 3 and 4 When I build one by one each project I get 4 assemblies right?
However, is there the possibility to let the builder/compiler generate only one assembly for the entire solution? Or for two projects compiled together?
I mean something like calling the compiler using the command line and setting a target assembly...
NET-based applications. An assembly is a collection of types and resources that are built to work together and form a logical unit of functionality. Assemblies take the form of executable (.exe) or dynamic link library (. dll) files, and are the building blocks of .
In the Microsoft . NET framework, an assembly is a partially compiled code library for use in deployment, versioning and security. There are two types: process assemblies (EXE) and library assemblies (DLL). A process assembly represents a process which will use classes defined in library assemblies. .
An assembly is a file that is automatically generated by the compiler upon successful compilation of every . NET application. It can be either a Dynamic Link Library or an executable file. It is generated only once for an application and upon each subsequent compilation the assembly gets updated.
An assembly is a collection of one or more files and one of them DLL or EXE. DLL contains library code to be used by any program running on Windows. A DLL may contain either structured or object oriented libraries. A DLL file can have a nearly infinite possible entry points.
By default there is a 1 to 1 correspondence between projects and assemblies. But you can use a tool like ILMerge to create one assembly from several.
