Relative Path for C# DLLImport Attribute when DLL is built in same solution file

I have a C# solution file that has 2 projects in it, Simulator and ProfileParser. ProfileParser is a C dll project that builds the C code as a .dll. I then use the DLLImport attribute in the Simulator project to call that code.

Here is a sample of how I use the DLLImport attribute:

[DllImport("C:\\Simulator\\Debug\\ProfileParser.dll", EntryPoint = "fun1", CallingConvention = CallingConvention.Cdecl)]
        public static extern UInt32
        fun1(temp_mC, soc);

My question is: how do I specify a relative path opposed to a absolute path for this so I can run the application anywhere?

Have you tried the usual variants that are recognized by Windows, like `.\Simulator\\Debug\\ProfileParser.dll` and `Simulator\\Debug\\ProfileParser.dll`? – Robert Harvey Jul 16 '14 at 20:01
