C# executables

I have created a C# project.  Even if its packaged up into an exe file the file still won't run on a system without the .net framework installed.  Is there a way to include the required dll's in the exe file that you wont need to install the .net framework on the computer to run it?

You can't skip the usage of the framework. Why does it disturb you? Where is your problem?

not so, since the .NET Framework is a one-time only load, and .NET manifests are completely self-describing, hence no registration.  In fact, two versions of the same .NET application can co-exist on the same machine with no interaction whatsoever. DLL-Hell IS A THING OF THE PAST.
I know.  That's what I was talking about.  Notice I said .net eliminates DLL hell.

sorry, thought your other comment was directed at me, for my comment that the Framework was absolutely required.  Guess you were commenting to the original questioners desire to simply load the required DLLs.
