I have two projects, one VB6 project which compiles to an EXE and one MSVC++2010 project which compiles to a DLL. The DLL needs to be in the same folder as the EXE file in order to work. Can I have Visual Studio 2010 automatically copy the compiled DLL to the VB6 project folder after a compilation?
The easiest way to set this up is to use a post build event. These run once a build is successfully completed and has a set of handy macros to make access to common outputs, like compiled files, very easy
For example. Here are the steps to a compiled DLL / EXE into c:\temp
- Right Click on the Project and select "Properties"
- Click on the Build Events Tab
- Add the following line to the "Post-Build" box:
copy "$(TargetPath)" c:\temp
In the above $(TargetPath) is a macro for the primary output of a build task: typically the EXE or DLL file. If you click on the "Edit Post Build" button, then macros you can see the full list of supported macros.
I believe you're asking for Post Build Events
An example of what you want to do, I believe, can be found here
Is Project > Configuration Properties > Build Events > Post-Build Event what you are looking for? With a command line of something like copy <dllpath> <dest>
Visual Studio has pre and post build events that you can use to accomplish what you want to do.
just go to Project: "project name" properties you should see a tab named build events. There you should be able to create Macros to do it for you.
Hope this helps.
