Hi Golam,

you can always choose to load a library dynamically
via Assembly myAssebmly = Assembly.LoadFile("path to assembly file here");

Here a link on CP: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/DynLoadClassInvokeMethod.aspx

that has some useful information.

Cheers

Manfred

Well, as long as the DLL's are placed in GAC (Global Assembly Cache - a different folder than you application one), they can be referenced.

All, you need is to give strong name to your D:: such that they can be placed in GAC.
