Embedding DLLs in a compiled executable

Question

Is it possible to embed a pre-existing DLL into a compiled C# executable (so that you only have one file to distribute)? If it is possible, how would one go about doing it?<

Answer 1

.NET Core 3.0 natively supports compiling to a single .exe

The feature is enabled by the usage of the following property in your project file (.csproj):

    
        true
    

This is done without any external tool.
