Thanks for your quick reply. I want to load an unmanaged dll into my assembly. In my assembly it will call the functions of the unmanaged dll. What I want to do is to merge the unmanaged dll into the result assembly and not to expose the unmanaged dll as an external dll file. What is your advice?

maybe you can better describe what it is you are trying to do. LoadLibrary is an SDK call for loading unmanaged dlls (usually for loading a resource). If your dll is an assembly that is managed you probably want to use the Assembly.Load method or equivalent. What kind of dll are you loading?
