I a making one application in VB.NET. I want to add the reference of
DLL which is placed in different folder
at run time.

methods of the dll.
I mean if I can use the classes contained into dll files without
indicate a reference to them statically

Pls help em with code.

Hi
You can achieve these functionally using classes from the reflection
namespace . you can read about the name space on this link

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/
frlrfsystemreflection.asp
also there is a good sample program that use the reflection to compile
vb.net code on the file you can find its article with source code on
http://www.codeproject.com/vb/net/DotNetCompilerArticle.asp
hope this helps
