    Adding references

    Hey guys! I have this problem for about 1 month, and I didnt find any answer to it. If I add a reference to my project(I have the CircularProgressbar.dll and Mysql.Data.dll), I should have these files in the same directory where I launch my .exe program. How can I import these like to have compressed in the program, or something, to have to have the executable file only?

    You don't. This idea that some people have that their application should be an EXE file and nothing else is misguided. If you application makes use of DLLs, distribute those DLLs with your EXE. That's what libraries are for.
