Reference to a .dll

Hi guys, I'm having some issues with VB.(I'm not an expert .NET'er, so go easy on me.

)
I have a library that I want to reference, so I can input keystrokes more easily. NOW, it works perfectly, but I must have the dll in the same folder as the executable.
Is there a way that I can add the dll to resources, (or something like that), so that I'd only need the executable for it to work?
(The dll used is the "InputSimulator.dll", used in my tutorial of How to make Virtual Keystrokes.)

I'd really be grateful if anyone could help me out with this. Either way, here's a b0b0.

Project > Add Reference > Browse (Or select it from the .net if it's there)

cbf'd adding screenshots, you should know what to do.

XD, I know how to do that. What I meant is:
To use my application, I need the dll to allways be in the same folder as the app.
What I want to do(if possible) is to somehow add the dll to the project, and reference it from there, that way I would only need to have the executable.

I would like to know how this can be done too /:

For my past projects, I just made it write the dll from resource to the disk when the form loads. And delete it when the form closes.

i know how do it.. pm me !

You can add it to the resources and load it as an assembly using the byte array (I think)

Tried it, either way, I found a great packer for .NET executables.(freeware)
It's very good, no problems so far. Please mark this as /closed & /solved

BTW, the packer I used was Enigma Protector Virtual Box.
