    compiling two dlls as one?

    I'm making a class library (it's a series of controls to be used with windows forms). I'm using another dll (utility) in this class library. And so when I compile the project I will end up with two dlls. One is the class library and another the utility dll. I'm just wondering if there is a way to just make one dll out of these two?
    Also how can I use this in a project? I tried adding my dll to a windows form project, and adding the utility dll to the refrences of that project. But when I try to use any of the controls that I have in my class library, I get an error saying that the utility dll was not found.
    (btw it works fine if I add the class library project in the solution, rather than including its dll only.)

    any ideas?

    yes. The control library is a solution with two projects. One is the utility and the other contains the controls. I want to use the whole thing (the solution) in another project. It works fine if I just add the two projects to another solution, but it doesnt work if I just want to add the compiled dlls of those two projects

    You have to put them in the same project and compile it to one dll that I believe is the only way.
