[How Do I:] Use the aspnet_merge.exe Utility to Merge Assemblies

Please install Silverlight or click download to watch video locally.

In this video Chris Pels will show how to use the aspnet_merge.exe utility to combine assemblies that have been compiled using the aspnet_compiler.exe utility. First, view the output of the ASP.NET compilation process to learn what assemblies are created. Next, learn the mechanics of using the aspnet_merge.exe utility to merge assemblies from the compilation of a web site, first seeing how to control the compiled assembly names with the –prefix option. Then see how to merge all the assemblies for a compiled web site into a single assembly. Lastly, learn how to merge just the assemblies related to the content (aspx, ascs, etc.) into a single assembly, leaving the top level assemblies such as app_code.dll representing the /App_Code folder. During each option the advantages and disadvantages of that option are discussed.

Good video.

It will helpful if the new version of VS would implement this option in the VS user interface instead of the command line.

Prayeentajr, i found my aspnet_merge on Microsoft SDK. So, just search for it on your computer
