Can this be done? If so, How?

I'm curious if it is possible to take compiled assemblies / controls and
create my own control DLL from them. It would make deployment so much
simpler in the case of the app I am working on. I do not have the source
for said components, only the compiled DLL (If I had the source, I would
just add them to the project).

For example, could I take Component1.dll and Component2.dll and somehow wrap
them into my own component DLL like myAppDLL.dll.

That way I could design with the myAppDLL.dll file and then all I need to
distribute to the end user is my app exe and the 'custom' dll along with the
framework?

Thanks,

Wayne P.

Thanks for the link - looks nice - but I'm not interested in a commercial
product. I'm curious if someone can point me to documentation, example,
resources, etc. where I can do this myself.

Thanks!
