In order to avoid the dll hell associated with multiple versions of the same standard dlls, the dlls that make up the wti piping dll are merged into one sigular dll with only access to the main dll methods. This way the dll hell is avoided.

To create the merged version, several tools are used (see Internet Upgrades below). First the ILMerge tool as provided by Microsoft (can also be downloaded via internet) which is used to perform the actual merging of the dlls. This command line tool is however rather complex in its use hence the second tool, IL-Merge GUI. This provides a simple GUI for the commandline tool, making merging simple.

Merge instructions: drop the required files in the assemblies dropbox at the top. Select the main dll (in this case Deltares.WTIPiping.dll) by clicking it. As for the options, make sure only Internalize is on and LMerge is selected.

Provide a new name at the bottom and press merge.
