hello

I have added several references to my project and when I compile my project, all DLLs must be exist next to my EXE file in the same folder. how can I define another path for my references.

EXE Path = ...\Test
DLL Path = ...\Test\Resources\DLL

I want to put my DLL in another path (like above) and inform my application to use DLLs in "...\Test\Resources\DLL" when I run my application.

thank you

Solution 1

DLL files are loaded at run time, not compile time, so they need to be located by Windows. This means they must be in the same directory as the executable file or in one of the directories named in the environment PATH variable.
