[SOLVED]Deploying function with .dll reference C#

I generated client code with swagger from the appwrite openapi specs. I've bee using it since without issues.

Now i wrote a simple function which creates documents in the database and therefore the code uses the swagger client code which is integrated using a reference to the IO.Swagger.dll.

So I put the .dll in the root directory of the project and edited the reference path in the .csproj file accordingly. Then I put the function files with the .dll in a tarball and tried to deploy it.

Unfortunately it throws an error (type or namespace could not be found) and I dont know how to resolve it after checking paths and doing some trial and error. I had the same problem with Newtonsoft which was also getting referenced locally but since there is a nuget package I could specify that one from the .csproj file and then it was working.

Maybe someone can help I am quite new to such topics and there is very little information out there..

TL;DR

User is having an issue deploying a function with a .dll reference in C#. They tried packing the DLL as a nuget package but still experiencing an error. They provided their function code and the file structure. Another user suggested adding the DLL as a reference through Visual Studio. User is still seeking help to resolve the issue.

@ilikechicken77 did you add the DLL to the project as a reference through Visual Studio?

Also, can you share your function code once and the function directory's complete file structure?

@Jake I created and tested a sample myself and there is a legitimate issue here.

Can you please share the function archive and I'll see what I can see

Here's the function sample I created to try this: https://github.com/adityaoberai/DllTest-AppwriteFunction

In my function sample, src/TestClassLibrary.dll just contains the following class:

TypeScript

namespace TestClassLibrary
{
    public class Calculation
    {
        public int Add(int x, int y)
        {
            return x + y; 
        }
    }
}
