Quick Start

1. Install the RemoveReference.Fody NuGet package for the project that builds your assembly

2. Add a RemoveReference attribute in your code for each assembly reference you want to remove from the compiled assembly:

    [assembly: RemoveReference("mscorlib, Version=2.0.5.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7cec85d7bea7798e")]    
    [assembly: RemoveReference("System.Core, Version=2.0.5.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7cec85d7bea7798e")]    
   

3. Rebuild your project and enjoy!
