Ilmerge

Kandi X-RAY | ILMerge Summarykandi X-RAY | ILMerge SummaryILMerge is a C# library typically used in Editor, Code Editor, Unity applications. ILMerge has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has medium support. You can download it from GitHub. ILMerge is a utility that merges multiple .NET assemblies into a single assembly. It is freely available for use and is available as a NuGet package. If you have any problems using it, please get in touch. (mbarnett at microsoft dot com). But first try reading the documentation. ILMerge takes a set of input assemblies and merges them into one target assembly. The first assembly in the list of input assemblies is the primary assembly. When the primary assembly is an executable, then the target assembly is created as an executable with the same entry point as the primary assembly. Also, if the primary assembly has a strong name, and a .snk file is provided, then the target assembly is re-signed with the specified key so that it also has a strong name. ILMerge is packaged as a console application. But all of its functionality is also available programmatically. There are several options that control the behavior of ILMerge. See the documentation that comes with the tool for details. The current version is 3.0.29 (released on 10 April 2019). NOTE: There is no longer a version of ILMerge that runs in the v1.1 runtime. ILMerge runs in the v4.0 .NET Runtime, but it is also able to merge assemblies from other framework versions using the /targetplatformoption. Please see the documentation. (However, it can merge PDB files only for v2 (and later) assemblies.). Currently, ILMerge works only on Windows-based platforms. It does not yet support Rotor or Mono. If you use ASP.NET v2.0, then it provides a tool (based on ILMerge) to combine assemblies created during precompilation. You can get more details from the ASP.NET web site.

IntroductionThis document describes the ILMerge utility which merges multiple .NET assemblies into a single assembly. However, some .NET assemblies may not be able to be merged because they may contain features such as unmanaged code. I would highly recommend using peverify (the .NET Framework SDK tool) on the output of ILMerge to guarantee that the output is verifiable and will load in the .NET runtime.ILMerge is packaged as a console application. But all of its functionality is also accessible programmatically. Note that Visual Studio does allow one to add an executable as a reference, so you can write a client that uses ILMerge as a library.ILMerge takes a set of input assemblies and merges them into one target assembly. The first assembly in the list of input assemblies is the primary assembly. When the primary assembly is an executable, then the target assembly is created as an executable with the same entry point as the primary assembly. Also, if the primary assembly has a strong name, and a .snk file is provided, then the target assembly is re-signed with the specified key so that it also has a strong name.Note that anything that depended upon any of the names of the input assemblies, e.g., configuration files, must be updated to refer instead to the name of the target assembly.Any Win32 Resources in the primary assembly are copied over into the target assembly.There are many options that control the behavior of ILMerge. These are described in the next section.2. Public InterfaceThe public interface for ILMerge is defined in the ILMerging namespace as the class ILMerge.namespace ILMerging{ public class ILMerge { }}To use this class programmatically, just create an instance using the default (nullary) constructor. There are several properties and methods which are used to affect the behavior of the merging. The method Merge() is called to actually perform the merging.2.1 AllowDuplicateTypepublic void AllowDuplicateType(string typeName);The normal behavior of ILMerge is to not allow there to be more than one public type with the same name. If such a duplicate is found, then an exception is thrown. However, ILMerge can just rename the type so that it no longer causes a conflict. For private types, this is not a problem since no outside client can see it anyway, so ILMerge just does the renaming by default. For public types, it is not often a useful feature to have it renamed. However, there are situations where it is needed. In particular, for obfuscated assemblies, it seems that the obfuscator defines an attribute and creates an assembly-level attribute for the obfuscated assembly using that attribute. This would mean that obfuscated assemblies cannot be merged.So this option allows the user to either allow all public types to be renamed when they are duplicates, or to specify it for arbitrary type names. On the command line, there can be as many options as desired, if followed by a colon and a type name, otherwise
