One of the regular list posters, Neil Sleighholm, has a pretty good blog post on how to customise the WiX UI standard libraries at http://neilsleightholm.blogspot.com/2008/08/customised-uis-for-wix.html without any need to compile a DLL. All your authoring is done in a Fragment (or multiple fragments) so it's very easy to make modifications if you're not happy with what you've created etc.
I use a similar method in 2 of our products to great effect and I wish Neil's article had been around back when I was trying to work out an easy way to do this. Good luck.

I have seen the code of the UIExtension shipped with WiX and i get an WebAppUIExtension.dll, but without the UI themselves. I have included the AssemblyInfo.cs, UIDecompiler.cs and UIExtension.cs i my WebAppUIExtension-Project. How i can include my .wixlib or the .wxs / .wxl Files into the WebAppUIExtension.dll.
