Okay, I am somewhat new to vb.net I've used it before but I am getting back into it.

With my app, I right now have 2 projects. A client dll project and my app. When I build my app I want the client dll to placed in a folder called dlls or something similar and not next to the exe file.

How would I do that?

thanks in advanced Jon

You can use System.IO.File.Copy function to copy files from one directory to another.

The other thing I need to figure out is how to dynamically reference the dll

It is possible to dynamically referencing a DLL using System.Reflection.Assembly class an other classes under System.Reflection.
