App without DLLs

[parka7]

Hello, (sorry for my bad english)

I'm working on program, which requires a DLL so it does not work properly when the library isnt located near exe. I want to have a "clean" program, I would like to know if there is a possibility to save DLL into the program, which saved it when you run into a temp folder and then it can be used also.


Thank you

First up, there is no such thing as a "clean" program. Most applications have multiple dependencies so to somehow consider an EXE that can run with DLLs to be better is totally misguided.

That said, if your DLL is a .NET assembly then you can use the free tool ILMerge from Microsoft to merge your DLL and your EXE into a single assembly.
