    dll references

    Some dlls that I'm using are automatically copied to the bin when I add them as reference, even when i encapsulate them on another dll, is there a way to avoid this? I don't want my end user to know that i'm using certain components...

    Thanks,
    Jewel

    How could your app run properly if those dll's it needs are not installed also?

    Re: dll references

    So what do I do if I purchased a third party component, and you I don't want my end users to know that I'm using that component? Can I rename it? Will is still work?

    Thanks,

    If it's a third party component, it'll already have the license in place. Any users trying to use that 'illegally' will not be able to do so.

    I don't know if renaming the DLL will work, it's an odd question. I don't think it will though

    Re: dll references

    I'm not sure... Perhaps late binding?

    Why the hesitancy for your user to know that you are using 3rd party components?
