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.
