Yes, you have to tell the CLR where to look for your assemblies.
Keyword here is "probing".

If folder, where you put your asseblies is "bin", or "bin2" then config file
look like

<configuration>
<runtime>
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
<probing privatePath="bin;bin2;"/>
</assemblyBinding>
</runtime>
</configuration>
