Question

I have an C#-application, that uses another C# DLL.
If I use the exe file it works, when the DLL-File is in the same directory as the exe-File. But know I would create a folder and put the dll-File in it.
In the MSDN Help found something that should work but i doesn´t why?

How can I load the DLL out of the subfolder ?

Answer 1

You need to add the folder you want to load the dll from to your config file :

<runtime>
    <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
      <probing privatePath="YourSubFolderHere;SubFolderTwo"/>
    </assemblyBinding>
</runtime>

Or you can do it through code using :

AppendPrivatePath
