I think ILMerge is what you want. However, reflection can ruin its day.

Yeah, ILMerge is great if you aren't using reflection. It merges a set of assemblies into a given primary assembly.

I use DeepSea obfuscator (commercial product) to obfuscate and merge the output assemblies from several projects into a single assembly (.exe or .dll).
