Load Library From different Folder C#

Question

I am new to C#, and I have a project which I have a built as a class library to check for updates before the app starts.

For the program to run this dll file should be in the same directory where the main app is, I want to change the directory of this dll file to be in a sub folder.

I have tried to change app.config file, but it started to cause runtime errors.

Is this possible?

Answer 1

If you import Updater Project into your main project, MsBuild compiles both of them together. And you won't need to deal with such complexities.

Honestly, ı couldn't understand what you tried to do. But above approach would solve your issue.
