C#: proprietary DLLs requiring access to my assemblies

Question

My solution uses a proprietary assembly, which when debugging the solution throws an Exception saying it can't find an assembly that is meant to be one of the projects in my solution.

I cannot add a reference to the proprietary assembly because all I have is the DLL.

When I compile everything into a single application directory and run the app it works fine, but I want to debug.

Where should assemblies be placed if you want a proprietary assembly in the solution to see them?

I assume the issue is that there is no path specified and it is just looking in a default directory of some kind.

Also search MSDN for AssemblyResolve, this will link you to additional articles to deepen your knowledge on this subject.
