How to Integrate ILMerge into Visual Studio Build Process to Merge Assemblies?

by

The “MSBuild ILMerge task” (or MSBuild.ILMerge.Task) NuGet package makes this process quite simple. It defaults to merging any “copy local” references into your main assembly.

Note: Although the packages have similar names, this one is different from ILMerge.MSBuild.Tasks that Davide Icardi mentioned in his answer. The one I’m suggesting here was first published in August 2014.
