Static Linking?

[MorganGreylock]

Is it possible to statically link during compile so I don't have to distribute all the DLLs and such for my VB program? I'd like it all to be contained solely within the EXE file, and require nothing else. (Size isn't an issue at this point, and I doubt it ever will be.)

Thanks in advance,
MG

In VB6.0 NO.

In .NET it seems that is the way they are going.

There are 3rd party software solutions that do this... I don't know what they are called though,,, do a search on the web for this

You can't statically link VB DLL's or any DLL's. DLL are Dynamic Link Libraries. Static Linking uses .LIB files. To boot VB DLL's are not regular DLLs. If you want to just have 1 executeable don't have ActiveX DLL's and just put your classes straight into your project.
