Embedding assemblies in one DLL

Hello,

How can I embeddseveral 3rd-party assemblies in one DLL-file?

My client doesn't wants to have a lot of files to be deployed, so he asks to embed everything in an executable file or at leastin one dll-file... Is it possible?

Thanks in advance

I've forgot to notice that my project is a smart device project (.NET Compact Framework 3.5, Windows Mobile 5.0)
So i have to make smart device assembly that contains several other already compiled (.dll) assemblies...

Thanks!

After the first use i was failed to make a smart device assembly targeted to .NET Compact Framework 3.5.
Can i make .NET CF assembies with this tool?

And also can i merge assemblies that are trageted for different versions of .NET framework?
