I discovered a nice utility that accompanies Visual Studio; at least it is in Visual Studio 2015. It is called ilmerge. It specific purposes is to fold an executable along with any dependent DLLs into a new executable that requires no external dependencies. You might need this for those time when you want a single executable on, say, a remote system.
Here is a command that binds two .Net libraries, one a distributed Microsoft API and the other is part of my program.
ilmerge /log:ilmerge.log ` /lib:C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319 ` /target:winexe /targetplatform:v4 ` /out:FreeBytesC.exe ` /ndebug FreeBytes.exe ` FreeBytes.exe FSharp.Core.dll VolLib.dll
The library and application have been updated to be a little more flexible and take a parameter, so that the minimum free space does not have to be hard-coded into the program.
Here is VolLib, an F# library:
namespace Toa.volLib

type DiskFreeLevels =

| GB20 = 20000000000L
[<AutoOpen>]
module volLib =
let libInit = ref false
let drive_list () =
DriveInfo.GetDrives()
// Takes a string representation of a drive, and pulls out its free space.
let free_space drive =
let di = DriveInfo(drive)
if di.IsReady then
int64(di.AvailableFreeSpace)
else
int64(-1)
// Just convert bytes to gigabytes.
let cvt_bytes_to_gb (in_bytes:int64) =
int64(truncate((float(int64(in_bytes)) / float(1024L)
/ float(1024L)) / float(1024L)))
let DRIVE_OFF_LINE = int64(-1)
let GB1 = cvt_bytes_to_gb(int64(DiskFreeLevels.GB1))
let GB5 = cvt_bytes_to_gb(int64(DiskFreeLevels.GB5))
let GB10 = cvt_bytes_to_gb(int64(DiskFreeLevels.GB10))
let GB20 = cvt_bytes_to_gb(int64(DiskFreeLevels.GB20))
// This is a pipeline function that takes a drive letter (string) and
// returns the free GB from a DriveInfo structure.
let cvt_drive_to_free_gb drive =
let fs = free_space drive
if fs > DRIVE_OFF_LINE then
free_space drive |> cvt_bytes_to_gb
else
int64(-1)
let cvt_gb_arg_to_int (arg:string) =
let numeric_arg = arg.Substring(2, arg.Length - 4)
int64(numeric_arg)
and the main application

So, here is a small, F# program to report on disk usage. This is from a real example on our Munis server.
