If you DLLImport without specifying any path it should look in the application folder.

Use SetDllDirectory Function to specify a path of your choice.

[DllImport("kernel32.dll", SetLastError = true)] 
static extern bool SetDllDirectory(string lpPathName);

Just specify dll name without path. As below:

    [DllImport("Dllname.dll")]
    static extern void Foo();

And it would be searched in app folder.
