Set Custom Path to Referenced DLL’s?

by

From this page (untested by me):

Somewhere in your program’s initialization (before you access any classes from a referenced assembly) do this:

AppDomain.CurrentDomain.AppendPrivatePath(@"bin\DLLs");

Edit: This article says AppendPrivatePath is considered obsolete, but also gives a workaround.

Edit 2: Looks like the easiest and most kosher way to do this is in the app.config file (see here):

<configuration>
  <runtime>
    <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
      <probing privatePath="bin\DLLs" />
    </assemblyBinding>
  </runtime>
</configuration>
