Copying Visual Studio project file(s) to output directory during build

Question

When I build a Visual Studio project, the executable is written to the output directory specified in the projects Property Page.

I have a project that has some extra

Answer 1

In case this helps anyone, I needed to copy the output dll of the project i was building into another project.

xcopy /y "$(ProjectDir)$(OutDir)$(TargetName)$(TargetExt)" 
"C:\Application\MyApplicationName\bin\x86\Debug"

/y = overwrite file if already exists
$(ProjectDir) = location on your machine where the project lives
$(OutDir) = is where your current build setup outputs the build
$(TargetName) = What the project being built is set to be called. Ex: XXX of XXX.dll
$(TargetExt) = the extension of the build Ex: .dll of XXX.dll

"C:/..../x86/Debug" is the location to copy to.
