Do you mean you got multiple .NET library's and want to combine them as one, like the C++ static linking?

ILMerge is a tool that can combine multiple .NET assembly's in to one assembly.

Maybe this is what youre looking for?

Hi Mvinaymurthy,

Based on your description, what do you mean of statically link C# library to C# project?

Do you mean that you have created a C# dll, then you want to link the dll into C# project?

If so, I think you can perform the following steps:

Right-click the "References" item in your project in Visual Studio
Choose the "Add References" option, then it will show a dialog to add references
Choose the "Browse" tab and select the dll and click OK button. Then the dll will be added into your project.
