BxILMerge is like ILMerge to merge unmanaged DLLs and any other files (data files, images, videos, databases etc.) with managed DLL.

What BxILMerge is for?

BxILMerge is like ILMerge to merge unmanaged DLLs and any other files (data files, images, videos, databases etc.) with managed DLL.

Usage

bxilmerge /out:<output assembly with embedded files> <input assembly> <unmanaged DLLs and other files to embed>...

How does it work?

BxILMerge uses Mono.Cecil to write content of each file into output assembly, adding additional code that virtualizes embedded files.

When you need it?

• you want to include assets into a managed assembly;
• you want to "link" a managed assembly with unmanaged DLLs (e.g. unmanaged part of SQLite);
• and so on.
