Generating the dll file for the solution

I have got a solution in visual studio .Net (called MyFramework) which contains a big number of projects. When building the whole solution I get the dll files for each of these projects updated though I can not find the dll file MyFramework.dll

It seems like the build process does not generate the dll for the whole solution; i.e. merging all the projects. Does anybody know how can I generate it?

MyFramework.dll is referenced in another ASP.Net solution; so I need the updated dll to be used somewhere else.

note: I'm aware of this utility by Microsoft called ILMerge that does that. I was wondering if there are any other simple ways of getting them...

A solution is a structure for organizing projects in Visual Studio. solution is just a container for a set of projects.

Solution files won't generate DLL's combining all the projects inside. Only project files can generate Dll's, So if you are seeing a MyFramework.dll then there is some other project with the same name.
