We have no idea exactly what you have done to "merge two dll A and B" - but unless you put both of A & B in the same namespace (i.e. you changed the namespaces for both of them throughout the source for the Merged.DLL project) you need to add using statements for both namespaces in order to access them, as well as adding a refernec to the Merged.DLL to the target project.

Dear OriginalGriff, there were two dll like a.dll and b.dll and merger both of them into one using ilmerge, and named it merged.dll now i add the reference of merged.dll in my project but could not import it by typing "using merged.dll", how can i use my merged dll in a project?

ILMerge doesn't change namespaces: it just repackages existing code into a single assembly file so it's easier to distribute. So it doesn't create a "Merged" namespace and that means that

using Merged;

will not work.
You would need to use the original namespaces from the unmerged code:

using NamespaceFromAdotDLL;
using NamespaceFromBdotDLL;
