  assembly reference winforms

  Nov 26, 2009 09:47 AM|LINK

  Hi

  I have referenced and assembly in a winform and it all works fine on my development environment.

  
  

  when i deploy it to another PC the assembly cannot be found.

  
  

  Do i need to do anything other than put the dll in a common location and then reference it?

  
  

  Thanks is advance

  thanks

  
  

  i recognises that dll now

  
  

  i have another problem tho, i need to reference another dll and it is erroring saying

  
  

  a reference to 'abcpdfce7.dll' could not be added. please make sure the file is accessible, and that it is a valid assembly or COM.

  
  

  i downloaded 2 dlls from the same source and one works and the other doesnt
