I would like to be able to have a single directory that holds custom dll's (for updating purposes), rather than having a copy in each project directory that uses that dll.
On local computer .dll's are located in:
C:\Data\Controls\

On server .dll's are located in:
C:\Data\Controls\

I have referenced the dll from C:\Data\Controls\.

The error I get when trying to debug the application:
VB Code:
  1. System.InvalidOperationException was unhandled

  2.   Message="An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details.  The error is: Could not load file or assembly 'Email, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified."

  3.   Source="PACS_Upload"

  4.   StackTrace:

Is there a way to not have a copy of the dll in my bin directory, and rather point to a specified location?
