Main WPF project cannot find the WPF control Library dll unless netloaded by AutoCAD

In order to reuse my wpf project, I have created a wpf control library. this compile to the first a.dll

I also implemented some button and AutoCAD login in this WPF control library.

Then In my main project, I have created a WPF window using the WPF control library

all the buttons/ textboxes are show correctly in the window. then in my main program, I try to create the window and show it.

[CommandMethod ("TEST")] public void cmdTest() { var win = new stair_window(); Application.ShowModalWindow(Application.MainWindow.Handle, win); }

This complied to the second b.dll, I have referenced a.dll in the main function. Everything compiled and build correctly

When I run AutoCAD, if I only netload b.ll, and run the "TEST" command, it throws an exception :

Exception thrown: 'System.Windows.Markup.XamlParseException' in PresentationFramework.dll Additional information: Could not load file or assembly 'Stair_Creator_Lib, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

If I netload a.dll and b.dll , it works as expected. Why this is the behavior? I have put both dlls in the same folder, why I still need to netload both of them in AutoCAD ?
