What do you mean by "combine"? If you know how to write DLL, you should know how to link or load it. Where is your problem?

I assume that you mean you want to link your exe/dll with a third party dll. Yes you can do this but you will need the third party's matching .lib file to link to the dll. If that is not available, you will need to use another way to activate the third party DLL such as COM or LoadLibrary().

You can use ILMerge for generating one big assembly out of several assemblies. But that requires .Net, and you did not state what type of dll you are talking about.
