How to prevent referenced assemblies from being compiled into the application?

[BH]

My question may be a bit odd. Right now I can see that all referenced
assemblies in my project are compiled into the application assembly so when
I deploy the application, I don't see those assemblies anymore. Is there a
way to compile the application so that the referenced assemblies are still
necessary when the app is deployed to a different computer? I know this
doesn't make sense most of the time but I'd like to know if there is a way
to do this.

Thanks a lot for any suggestions

I've never seen referenced assemblies compiled into another assembly.

They aren't.
