title: How to add external assembly (.dll) to .NET Core 2.0 on Visual Studio Code
body: <p>I faced some issues regarding adding an external assembly (<code>.dll</code>) to my <code>.NET Core 2.0</code> console application on <strong>Visual Studio Code</strong> as there are little to none documentation about how you can do it.</p>
  
  <p>Microsoft provides a <a href="https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/dotnet/2016/11/16/announcing-net-core-tools-msbuild-alpha/" rel="noreferrer">very good tutorial</a> about how one can add <code>NuGet Packages</code> and Project to project references, but no information on how to add external <code>dlls</code>.</p>
