Hi all, i'm trying to figure out how i can make my own library (or any other third party library) work in AL - Business Central, if anyone can help would be much appreciated.
What i have been doing so far:

Business Central is on premise, no cloud needed
app.json has "target": "Internal"
edited user settings in VScode as suggested on some blogs:
this where i'm including dotnet types in a random codeunit:

(First 2 libraries works, the problems come with last one)
If i try to build i get this error:

Did you actually put "PdfSharp.dll" into "c:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central\140\Service\Add-ins\" folder? Also, try restarting NAV service and Visual Studio

Yeh my PdfSharp.dll was there in that folder, and i knew i had to restart the service but i probably did some mess and maybe i restarted it in some precedent attempt and forgot to restart it when the dll was in the correct folder.
Ty anyway for helping me to realize this, i was almost there 😅
