C# 如何将 DLL 中的引用与 DLL 一起加载？

Question

I'm adding another project as a DLL reference to my Console Application project that I created with C# .NET 6.0.

In this DLL project, the reference Microsoft.Data.SqlClient is used, but this reference does not come with the added DLL.

I need to add the Microsoft.Data.SqlClient reference separately to my Console Application project. I have many references like this.

How can I ensure that the references used in the DLL are loaded together with the DLL?

One way to do it, is to create a nuget package out of it, in which you include the dependencies, more on this here (nuget) and here: creating-a-package or like this . If you then install the package into your new project, it will include the dependencies as well.

Alternatively you can just add the Microsoft.Data.SqlClient reference to your project.

There are all sorts of hacks to include the DLL as resource in yours, but I would stay away from that.
