<h2>Introduction</h2>
<p>
I have seen the beatiful interface made from <a href="http://sourceforge.net/sendmessage.php?touser=298505" >Tomer Shalev</a>
in the SourcForce web site and thought I could revrite it in a self contained way.
The original Tomer Shalev's Gilma is a front-end application to ILMerge: Microsoft's
command-line utility that can be used to merge multiple .NET assemblies into a single
assembly.
</p>
<p>
ILMerge is freely available from Microsoft's web site.
<br />
ILMerge's license
does allow commercial usage.
<br />
In my Implementation whose snapshot you can see
in the picture I have referenced the ILMerge executable directly in visual Studio
2005.
</p>
<h2>Using the code</h2>
<p>
The MSI File contained in the Demo installs the application. The .Net 2.0 and the
3.1 Installer are prerequisites. In the source zip is conteaind the whole VS2005
project.<br/>
The Only thing to point is the presence of the possibility to use a strong key in
the preferred *.snk format to digital sign the assembly.
</p>
<h2>Points of Interest</h2>
<p>
The implementation is fairly trivial. The code is derived from the ILMerging
interface help found in the Microsoft Website.
</p>
<h2>History</h2>
<p>
This is version 2.0. considering 1.0 the version for .Net 1.1 in the Tomer Shalev
<a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/gilma">SouceForce</a>site.
