C # Use ilmerge to compress all referenced DLL files and exe files into one.

Today, I made a software program and found that there are only a few classes to be called when I want to release it, just like packaging them with the EXE files. It will be convenient to copy them to other places for use in the future, so I searched the internet and found that most of the Internet was implemented using ilmerge, so I tried it myself. However, there was no detailed step demonstration on the Internet, so I took some time to make a tutorial, someone else wants to package their ownProgram, There is an articleArticleYou can refer to the following link for more information:
