Visual Studios Express - change debug output directory

Question

Is there a way to get a VS project to build the debug EXE to a directory other than bin/debug?

I found this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms165410%28v=vs.

Answer 1

The Output path is stored in the .cproj file. One for each configuration.

Open ur *project_Name.csproj* in any editor (say notepad)

For Debug:

    .....
    myOutput\

Similarly For Release:

 
    ...
     bin\Release\

You could try manually editing the OutputPath.

The Output Path can take both Relative and Absolute paths.

Note: The Relative OutputPath should be relative to your project directory (project_Name.csproj) .
