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

I recently had issue where I had ilmerged assembly in the assembly i had some classes these were being called via reflection in Umbraco opensource CMS.

The information to make the call via reflection was taken from db table that had assembly name and namespace of class that implemented and interface. The issue was that the reflection call would fail when dll was il merged however if dll was separate it all worked fine. I think issue may be similar to the one longeasy is having?
