I have a solution with several projects and one website.
The website uses some third-party dll's.
I have to place the dll's in the bin folder under the website. This is the same bin where the dll's from the other projects get auto-loaded.
Is there a way I can place the third-party dll's in a separate folder?
If I 'Add Reference' to the dll when it is in a separate folder, VS always adds it to the GAC.
If the separate folder is outside of the website layout, 'Add Reference' never works.

My goal is have the bin folder only for auto-updated dll's, and a separate folder for third-party dll's. [This method works fine for the projects; just the website has issues]
