It's actually rather a cute idea.
It's just a shame that it's absolutely useless -- I struggled to find a bus on the map, and finally found a 426 (I've no idea where it goes, but it was there), so I searched on 426, and was presented with a map of Taiwan.

When my girl friend (and now wife) we're punks without a car we used to light a cigarette to make the bus come. Worked more often than not. The smokes were more precious than gold for the poor and in love. That's a "back in our day" story for the grand kids I guess now.

In the old days when you could smoke just about anywhere, I used precisely the same method to get my luggage off the carousel in an airport. Light up one of my Davidoff specials, and my suitcase would be the next one out.

I am currently working on a Prism solution that has 14 projects. The problem is that I had to include the DLL for each project when I deployed the executable. This was a pain, so I decided to look for a method to embed the DLLs into the executable. Some research pointed me to a NuGet package called Costura.Fody.
When it works, it works great. You just run the command "Install-Package Costura.Fody -Pre" on the NuGet command prompt and you're set. When you build the solution, all required DLLs are integrated into the main executable and you only have one file to deploy. It works well with Visual Studio 2012 but can be finicky on Visual Studio 2017.
If the install fails on VS2017, as can happen, you can kiss the solution goodbye. I was unable to roll back the install and recover the solution / project. I was forced to recover it from a full backup. Make sure you have a full backup before trying Fody!
I am curious to know whether any of you have used this package with Visual Studio 2017, and what your experiences were?

I thought the NSA had given up on Prism, and were using Samaritan, now.

Interesting. I did something a year ago or so where I embedded various DLL's as a resource and used the assembly resolver to load the DLL. It worked great!
There's a good CP article here that looks very similar to what I did.

Looks interesting, but there is one other advantage to Fody that I neglected to mention: After embedding the DLLs, it compresses the executable. This is a significant issue for me. My app has a 30Meg+ DataTable embedded as a serialized resource. Being serialized, it is basically a XML text file that compresses very well: to more than 90%.
Now that I am beginning to get the hang of it, I will be hard pressed to follow any other options. It makes the whole process just so easy!

I've worked with Costura before. I want to like it, but ultimately I've stopped using it.
The issue that I had was in delivering minor version updates to a specific application, I wrestled with Costura quite a bit to update the dependencies on specific modules, and ultimately found a /bin directory to be more time-effective.
Detaching Costura from my projects proved to be an interesting endeavor. This is the main reason I stopped using it altogether: it proved difficult to remove the framework completely.

Yes! I have come to the conclusion that it is impossible. One has to create a new project, then copy the files from the old project to the new.

I am not sure what you mean. Care to elaborate, please?

If I need to change out dependencies, let's say the log provider that I was using is a dead project and I want to swap to a different one, getting Costura to completely drop the old dependency and introducing the new one takes a little time and effort.
Setting dependencies to Copy Local takes no time. I'm not sure how else to put it.

Got it, thanks! I have been painted into corners by Costura, where it would have helped, had I known this.

I can't tell from your post if you already have the SSD drive or if you are going to buy it.
The SSD drives I have bought come with software that will clone your system drive onto the SSD, but I have not been able to clone non-system drives. I am not sure if I just didn't find the option for cloning other drives, but I just performed a standard file copy for those instead.

I used the free Aomei partition assistant - no issues.
(Aomei backup sucks but their part-ass seems OK.)
