Is any alternative to ILMerge?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by ARTECH 247

Hello,

I am wondering if I can get some help with ILMerge related clarification query.

Basically, I have the below 2 (D365 online) scenarios and wondering if there is any way to avoid doing the ILmerge!?:

1) I have got a Plugin project that uses Newtonsoft.Json Nuget package as a project reference and thus requiring the ILmerge to be done before deploying the same plugin.

2) Also, I have a custom code activity that uses a "Business Library" based visual studio project reference (which is also used in other project types e.g. Console app etc) and thus requiring the ILmerge to be done before deploying it.

Can I please be advised if doing the ILMerge is the only option here?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Regards, AR

    Hello,

    There are options:

    1. Newtonsoft.Json - use .Net serialization instead - develop1.net/.../ILMergeNotSupported

    2. Regarding the "Shared Logic" library - you can use Shared Project - medium.com/.../shared-project-an-alternative-to-ilmerge-in-dynamics-crm-plugin-development-94e810ae1ac2
