ILMerge Best Practices

Question

Do you use ILMerge? Do you use ILMerge to merge multiple assemblies to ease deployment of dll\'s? Have you found problems with deployment/versioning in production after ILMe

Answer 1

We just started using ILMerge in our solutions that are redistributed and used in our other projects and so far so good. Everything seems to work okay. We even obfuscated the packaged assembly directly.

We are considering doing the same with the MS Enterprise Library assemblies.

The only real issue I see with it is versioning of individual assemblies from the package.
