I have a WinForm Visual studio 2022 project that is C# and when I build it, it outputs 4 files, 1 dll, and 2 .json files with the exe. How would I combine all the files into one .exe file to make it easier to distribute?

CodePudding user response：

Right click project → Publish

Go along with the Wizard to publish to a folder location

Once you are done with that click "show all settings":

Now select a "Self-contained" deployment mode and check the "produce single file" checkbox

When you publish you will have a single exe file
