How to import DLL file in vb.net(visual basic) programmatically?

Question

I have 2 files: lib.dll & executor.exe .

lib.dll

Public Module Module1
   Public Function Abc()
      MsgBox("I am dll")
   End Function
End Module

I want to import lib.dll and use its function in executor.exe .
I know lib.dll can be added via visual basic reference ,
But when I place lib.dll in another directory, then it shows errors.
I want to import dll from a path something like as shown below.

imports "C:\Users\root\Desktop\lib.dll"
Public Class Form1
    Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
       Module1.Abc()
    End Sub
End Class

You can specify folder where runtime will search for DLLs in .config file using "probing" element.
