How to reference dll from another project?

Question

How do I reference the FontAwesome.WPF dll from the OtherProject in the Test project.

In the OtherProject I reference it like this:

xmlns:fa="http://schemas.fontawesome.io/icons/"

I know how to reference the project itself:

xmlns:fa="clr-namespace:OtherProject;assembly=OtherProject"

But I think the namespace should change, however I don't know to what and where to find it?

This is the FontAwesome.WPF in the object browser:

I don't know how the first reference would relate to this or might help me or if this is even possible?

So what I want is calling this:

<fa:ImageAwesome Icon="Flag" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center" />

Without installing the NuGet package in the Test project.

You should read the following accepted answer.

MSBuild doesn't copy references (DLL files) if using project dependencies in solution

In short, you have two options:

• Install the NuGet package in the test project as well.
• Add some code (not only XAML markup) in the OtherProject that references a type in the FontAwesome assembly.

Then the assembly should be copied to the test project's output directory.
