What \ Huh?
Are you talking "embedding" an application into another, in such a manner that: say I run your program, it will have another assembly within it that will be copied to disk and executed. Is that what you mean?
If so, I am left to wonder, why?

You want another executable in an executable? yeah.. That's what class libraries are for.. compile the first project into a dll then add that as a resource to the one other one.

How? So you have project_1.. go to that solution's properties.. in the top tab switch from 'executable' to 'class library'. Compile.
In project_2.. go to THAT project's properties. Under references click 'add'. Navigate to the directory where project_1's dll compiled to.
Affirm you want to add it.
Now you can create an object in project_2's vb code that is project_1's stuff.
VSNET should provide a default constructor but other methods like showing project_1's form and what nto need to be handled by you.
