This is probably a stupid newbie question but here we go.
I have a DLL which references another DLL. If I want to put this other DLL
in a subfolder of the folder where the main DLL is, how do I tell the main
DLL where to look for?

TIA.
 
you might try this:

mySubDllPath =
system.io.path.getdirectoryname(system.reflection.assembly.getexecutingassem
bly.getname.codebase) & "mysubdirectory"
 
Adam,
Thanks for your reply.
I am not sure I understand how to use this...
Is this a way for the main DLL to know where to look for the 2nd DLL?

The string Adam gave you would be used with Assembly.Load(). You will have
to load the 2nd DLL before you can use it, since it is not in a place where
the .NET framework could find it automatically.

Best Regards,

Andy
