Referencing a 3rd Party class library within a SQL Clr Class

Question

I am creating a SQL CLR assembly that needs to use a Third Party assembly inside it. The trouble is I cannot reference this assembly as only ones already deployed to SQL or other SQL project references are allowed.

Is it possible to use 3rd party assemblies in a SQL CLR assembly and if so how?

Thanks in advance.

Read this article from MSDN that explains the security model and outlines how SQL server decides whether or not to load and run assemblies
