title: Referencing external dll in Visual Studio 2015
body: <p>To reference an external DLL in VS2015, I can add correctly include paths and additional dependencies to .lib file</p>
  
  <p>If I copy that dll to the place where I am trying to link it from I can successfully run that application.  </p>
  
  <p>However, I do not want to copy each DLL into my project directory.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to reference a DLL by its full path instead?</p>
