Convert .Net 1.1 to 2.0 with ILMerge.exe

This is a quick howto on converting between 1.1 and 2.0 frameworks. Microsoft have released a Tool called ILMerge. Effectively it allow you to combine or merge, lots of individual assemblies into one complete assembly. Each component is decompiled and then recompiled into a single assembly. There is a catch though, ILMerge requires the 2.0 framework and the final assembly is 2.0 only, however we can use this to our advantage. Lets say you have a 1.1 framework assembly myassembly.dll, simply call: ILMerge.exe myassembly.dll /OUT:newassembly.dll newassembly.dll is now 2.0 framework compliant Hurrah! |
