    Controlling compiler output, possible?

    Hi

    When creating a windows application you get a specific file and folder
    structure when you compilte your code. I was wondering what sort of control
    (perhaps not using VS.NET but other tools and command line) I have to
    influence the way the output is made? At the moment I would get something
    like this

    App
    bin
    Release (contains .exe file & .dll files)
    Images
    Resources

    Would it be possible to get the output to

    App
    Images
    Resources
    .exe and .dll files

    ?? If so, then how would it be solved with files pathes? Atm you have to use
    something like Path.Combine(En vironment.Curre ntDirectory, "../../Resources")
    to step up in the folder hierarchy to get from your exe to your files..
    would be much nicer if I could use root relative paths such as
    Path.Combine(En vironment.Curre ntDirectory, "/Resources")

    Then a bit more advanced.I think I've seen this in an article before but is
    it possible to compile all the dll files into my exe file? So I only have

    App
    Images
    Resources
    myapplication.e xe

    instead of


    App
    Images
    Resources
    myapplication.e xe
    somedll.dll
    someotherdll.dl l
    yetanotherdll.d ll

    ???

    Thanks!
