在bin文件夹内的文件夹内引用dll

Question

Inside my Bin folder I created another folder called "Template" (Bin > Template). Inside the Template folder I have a set of dll's, of which I would like to call from a class; like... using Bin.Template.Example.ClassName; Is it possible to accomplish this?

Answer 1

Yes you can use Assembly.LoadFile to load external assemblies.

        var x = Assembly.LoadFile("myFile.dll");
        var myObject = x.CreateInstance("MyClass");

However you will not have strongly typed access to the resulting object.

Consider using dependency injection instead, where you will be able to load assemblies and know the types.

To use an external DLL from the filesystem, you need to add a reference at the project level. Right click References under your project, and choose Add Reference... :

Then click Browse button, locate the DLL, press Ok .

Inside your class file, add using <dll.name.space>; to the top.
