title: Do DLL's reference dependencies need to be extant in order to utilize any class objects from the DLL?
body: <p>For example, I have a large class library that does a number of things... I build it into a project.  Some of the class objects depend on "Copyrighted.dll" - but this project is not going to use any of the class objects with "using Copyrighted"...  Will the DLL still be functional for classes that don't depend on that?</p>
  
  <p>I suppose I could try to test this out somehow, but I'm not in a place with the code that it's easy at this moment.</p>
