The software can be installed with certainty.

After the tool has been installed, use the cmd command prompt to enter the directory using the tool:

CD Files (x86) \microsoft\ilmerge

As shown in the following:

The main usage of the tool is as follows:

/out:filename <primary assembly> [<other assemblies> ...]

As shown in the following:

Open Visual Studio 2017 (or 2015), reference Newtonsoft.Json.dll, and write the following code in the console (the project name is: CONSOLEAPP12):

 
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using Newtonsoft.Json; using Newtonsoft.Json.Linq; namespace ConsoleApp12
{ class Program
    { static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            List<Person> list = new List<Person>()
            { new Person(){ ID = 1, Name = "ABC" }, new Person(){ ID = 2, Name = "XYZ" },
            }; var result = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(list);
            JArray jArray = JArray.Parse(result); foreach(var item in jArray)
            {
                Console.WriteLine($"ID:{(int)item["ID"]},Name:{(string)item["Name"]}");
            }
            Console.ReadKey();
        }
    } class Person
    { public int ID { set; get; } public string Name { set; get; }
    }
}

As shown in the following:

Attention:

①newtonsoft.json.dll is:

Https://pan.baidu.com/s/1o8gJPHo

The dotnetframework of the ②newtonsoft.json.dll must be running above version 4.5 and 4.5.

Click the Run button on the IDE to start the build, as shown in the following files will be generated under the Bin/debug folder:

If you want to run the above program,ConsoleApp12.exe and Newtonsoft.Json.dll are essential , but this looks very awkward, if you can merge into a file, how good ah.

The following work will merge the above two files, using the ILMerge.exe tools described above.

If the test folder on the D drive, the above two files will be merged, as shown in:

Now return to the command prompt form that you just entered, enter the following command:

Ilmerge/ndebug/target:exe/out:d:\test\new_consoleapp12.exe/log D:\test\consoleapp12.exe/log D:\Test\ Newtonsoft.json.dll/targetplatform:v4

Note:/ndebug: As a non-debug version, the release version, if removed, will generate a debug file for the. pdb extension.

/target: As the target platform, the output here is exe

/out: The path and file name of the output after merging

/log: DLL or EXE that needs to be merged, need to include all of the merged EXE or DLL

/targetplatform: Target platform, this time is DotNet4.6.2, so need target platform set to V4

After running, you will be prompted to merge the completed information as shown in the following:

Click on the newly generated new_consoleapp12.exe and the program will run normally as shown in:

We can use ILSpy.exe to view the New_consoleapp12.exe after the merge, as shown in:

As can be seen from the above,ConsoleApp12.exe and Newtonsoft.Json.dll have been merged into New_ConsoleApp12.exe.
