What order of executables does a DLL look for?

Question

Possible duplicate:
In what order are the locations for finding related DLL files found?

I have an executable file foo.exe that references bar.dll. I have to put bar.dll in the same folder where foo.exe, or put bar.dll in the GAC. I was wondering if I can put bar.dll in another directory (for example, the bin directory) and ask foo.exe to look for a DLL in this directory?

Also, what order is foo.exe looking for a DLL? Current folder? is the gac?

Answer 1

You need to handle AppDomain.AssemblyResolve if your assemblies are neither in the GAC nor in the local directory.

yes, you can do this even if you can place it in a remote location, and during the testing phase will try to find it. Searh for Assembly Research
