dll not loaded from bin directory

Question

I have some troubles on using firebird embedded in my application .

if i reference it with the full path in web.config it work

part of the connectionstring :

client library=C:\Dev\WEB\Projects\project1\bin\fbembed.dll;

but if i simply put

client library=fbembed.dll

i have a dllnotfoundexcetion .

i have also checked that the dll and all it's dependencies exists in the Bin folder, and like i said with the full path everything work fine .

any idea please ?
