ILMerged Classes Not Visible To Resharper

Question

I have ILMerged some assemblies. For example:

• Foo.Bar
• Bar.Foo
• Foo.Baz

Into one assembly. For example:

• FooBarBaz.Merged

And it works. That is, when I reference FooBarBaz.Merged and use something like Foo.Bar.MyClass in code it compiles just fine.

However Resharper (v5) does not work. Usages of any type from the merged assembly are bloody red. What's worse, I get no intellisense for these types either. Basically this assembly cannot coexist with Resharper.

I wonder if there's some ILMerge param that can cure this. ILMerge documentation is pretty well hidden, but I found this. I have hacked at various switches...to no avail.

Alternately, is there some Resharper setting I can change. I really prefer not to have to do this because this is an OSS project.

Answer 1

I have solved this. It's a bug in Resharper, I beleive. However it's not a bug that matters to me.

It seems that Resharper has trouble seeing types of an ILMerged assembly if the project that references that assembly is inside a solution that contains some of the assemblies that got merged. This is not a case that I care about.

I learned this from this thread.
