Hi, after going through Extracting Embedded Images From An Assembly[^] article of extracting resource file I found you must be the one who can help out.

Have you any article that explains (or can you explain) how to embed referenced DLL as resource so I don't have to package every referenced DLL, instead just provide only EXE with embedded references.
As I found some applications that does this so I am sure this is possible.

As one of the applications that do contain some DLLs, I used ILDASM, and saw that there are some DLLs in resource, but extension is BIN instead of DLL, I knew this as I have those DLLs, (Ionic.Zip.dll, and other)

My question is I have the latest Ionic.zip DLL, how can I replace the embedded resource DLL with the one I have, and build the application with latest Ionic zip library?

I have been googling around for 3 days no luck

Will be very thankful if you can help me out

What article are you referring to? I guess in a round about way I was saying the same thing that William said. You would be much better off posting your question to the article forum instead of here since the author you refer to might never see this question.

But a google search turned up this[^] that might be what you are looking for.
