ColdFusion .Net class not found

Question

When running the following code:

<cfobject type=".NET" name="test" 
       class="GoCardlessSdk.GoCardless" 
       assembly="#expandpath("../GoCardlessSdk.dll")#">
<cfdump var="#test#">

I receive the error:

The assembly that contains the class must be provided to the assembly attribute. Message Class GoCardlessSdk.GoCardless not found in the specified assembly list.

The C# code for the class I am trying to call is show here.

Things I have done:

Checked that the correct version of .Net (3.5) is installed for the DLL which I am targeting
Checked that the ColdFusion .Net service is running
Check the namespace for the class (I think I am doing this bit correctly but would happily be corrected)

I have just tried the following code:

<cfobject type=".NET" name="proc" class="System.Diagnostics.Process">  
<cfdump var="#proc#">

Which did work as expected which at least shows that the .Net service is running.

Any help to get overcome this would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Problem solved. I needed to included the supporting DLLs:

<cfobject type=".NET" name="GoCardless" class="GoCardlessSdk.GoCardless" assembly="#expandpath("../GoCardlessSdk.dll")#,#expandpath("../Newtonsoft.Json.dll")#,#expandpath("../RestSharp.dll")#">
