Compiling to single DLL

[Ed Courtenay]

OK, let's say I have two classes one written in VB.NET and the other in C#
(we'll call 'em vbClass and csClass); they both exist in the same namespace
and the vbClass inherits csClass.

How can I package the two together into one distributable DLL?

[Jonathan Allen]

You can't. The best you can hope for is to put them in the same assembly.

Actually you can, just the IDE currently doesn't support it. The trick is
too use ILDASM to disassemble each dll, the use ILASM to rebuild the IL into
one dll.

Very cool! (And it works... Methinks a utility to handle this process may
have to be started....
