I'm developing a DotNetNuke Module using the nonIIS method of module development. Is there any way to include a 3rd-party assembly in your module (when setting it up for deployment)?

I thought about adding it as a reference to the dotnetnuke_nonIIS website project as a whole, but that doesn't seem right considering it's a dependency of the module.

Whatever your local development environment may look like, you will most likely want to be able to deploy the module to a DNN site on its own.

To do that, you can create an installable module zip package - which consists of all of your module assets and a manifest file describing them so that DNN may process them and perform the appropriate actions (run scripts, deploy assemblies to the bin) upon installation.

Check out the DNN wiki for more information about packaging.
