Does anyone know of a tool or VS add-in that will allow me to take a base class and a derived class, and collapse them into a single 'flattened' class? Or is this too difficult an operation, given the need to cope with resolving overriden and hidden/new members? Background: I am working on a project where we have a base class and a sing...
I have a C# Application that uses some other Assemblies, so when I compile, I end up with my .exe and 2 or 3 other .dll Files. Ideally, I only want 1 .exe file.

I think that I understand the difference between Release and Debug build modes. The main differences being that in Debug mode, the executable produced isn't optimized (as this could make debugging harder) and the debug symbols are included.
