    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?

    Correct. It's not possible.

    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

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

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