Compile Multiple DLLs into a single DLL

I have several C# DLL's that I would like to compile into a single DLL
for distribution. Is that possible? I want to leave the source for
all the DLL's in their original projects. 3rd party product maybe?

Dave,

You could still create a separate project that includes all the source
files and compiles to a single assembly, no?

>3rd party product maybe?
Sure, google "illink" or "ilmerge" for some free utilities.

Take a look at Microsoft's ILMerge
