How to use external library in c# script having different namespace and dll

Question

I want to use novacode-docx in cs-script. how can I give correct reference to the assembly. I tried following but didn't work around the assembly reference missing.

//css_reference D:\lib\DocX.dll;
using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Windows.Forms;

class Script
{
    [STAThread]
    static public void Main(string[] args)
    {
        using (DocX doc = DocX.Create(@"C:\Users\name\Desktop\test.docx"))
        {
             doc.PageLayout.Orientation = Orientation.Landscape;
             var table = doc.AddTable(12, 2); 
             doc.InsertTable(table);
             doc.Save();
        }
    }
}

You cannot reference an explicit path like that for presumably security reasons. The assembly must be placed in one of the following locations and referenced as //css_reference DocX.dll;

File location The assembly to be loaded must be from one of the following locations (the order indicates the assembly search priority):

• the same directory where the script is
• Default Script Library directory Script Library (%CSSCRIPT_DIR%\Lib)
• Custom Script Library directory(s) (specified in the configuration console SearchDirs)
• GAC

See here for more info: http://www.csscript.net/help/using_.net_assemblies.html

Drop the Docx.dll into the same folder as where the cs script is and try this:

//css_reference DocX.dll;
using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using Novacode;

class Script
{
    [STAThread]
    static public void Main(string[] args)
    {
        using (DocX doc = DocX.Create(@"C:\Users\name\Desktop\test.docx"))
        {
             doc.PageLayout.Orientation = Orientation.Landscape;
             var table = doc.AddTable(12, 2); 
             doc.InsertTable(table);
             doc.Save();
        }
    }
}
