.NET DLL and EXE

[jyang72211]

My program makes a bunch of .NET DLL calls.  When I compile an exe for my program, how does LabVIEW knows where the DLLs are?  How do I specify?

Hi Jyang,

When building an executable, LabVIEW automatically makes a copy of any dependency DLLs (used by Call Library Function Nodes) and puts it in the data folder of your executable distribution.

This KB explains the requirements for .NET assembly (DLL) locations in order to be found by the caller:

How LabVIEW Locates .NET Assemblies

This is basically the same information as Christian posted.

We can also explicitly specify a reference path:
