Hi, I'm using a 3rd party dll in a control and I'm wondering if there is a way to "attach" this dll to my project even if I can't add it as a reference.

I'm using this control in many applications and I would like that the "3rd party dll" get copied to every applications where I use this control.

Right now I have to copy/paste the dll in every bin folder because there is no "link" in my project and I dont know if this is possible or how to do it.

Also I would like this dll to be saved into sourcesafe (impossible right now)

Thanks in advance
 
You might want to use the global assembly cache
 
oh no idea what this is but ill search for it thanks
 
Oh I didnt realise you meant the GAC, I dont think this is what I need, from what I know of the GAC you need to install the dll in the GAC on each computer and this is exactly what I dont want to do.

My perfect scenario is

DevX does a GetLatest (source safe) on my control and automaticly get the "3rd party dll". I dont want to create a installshield just to be able to build the control.
